  • About

French tarragon (as opposed to its coarser cousin, Russian tarragon) has a subtle anise-like flavour, which perfectly complements other gently flavoured foods such as eggs, fish and chicken. The Latin name means ‘little dragon’, from the belief that the herb could cure the bites of venomous creatures.

Ingredients

  • oil, for cooking
  • 4 skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 French shallots, finely sliced
  • 100

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to moderate 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Heat about 1 tablespoon oil in a roasting tin on the stove top and fry the chicken breasts for 5 m
