Baked Tarragon Chicken Breasts
"WOW, I give this 5 stars! I was more than pleasantly surprised with this recipe. Even the picky kids loved it. Definitely company worthy. Serve with wide buttered noodles.
I browned one side of the breasts in butter in a skillet but frankly, it was not necessary. The color from the brown mustard gave it great eye appeal. Recipe from: "What's for Dinner" by Maryana Vollstedt"

I've made this several times mostly using chicken thighs. I like that it's healthy and doesn't require heavy cream. Tonight's rendition was divine! -
I made 25 servings for the Senior Luncheon at the church where I work. Delicious!!!! Thank you for this recipe! EVERYONE loved it! -
Great meal! I have made this twice now and it came out better the second time than the first. I used water instead of white wine both times. I gave the recipe to my mother and she and her husband loved it! All of us will definitely make it again! -
I prepared this for dinner using two fresh chicken legs, browned the chicken and then put the sauce ingredients over it in the same frypan I used. Popped it in the oven and WOW is right chef!! An easy, very tasty recipe, loved the combination of flavours, I deglazed the pan with a little more wine and served the sauce over the chicken....... really good!!! -

The seasonings on the chicken were great. We substituted the white wine with apple juice that was on hand, it changed the flavour a bit but it was still great. The noodles were good as well.

Hi there! Originally CHICAGOLAND CHEF DU JOUR, I like to think of myself as a fantastic home cook with a flair for the gourmet. I have gotten & shared many recipes since I became a member in 2007.
