Chicken in a Tarragon Vinegar Sauce

"I first had this at my aunt and uncle's house last summer. I'm not sure where they got it from, but it is the most amazing recipie. I've never been a big fan of tarragon, but this chicken is incredibly moist and delicious. I wasn't even that hungry and I finished off my entire plate. The key is to use fresh tarragon. This is a great light dish and can easily be doubled. Also, a little big of regular onion can be subsituted if you don't have shallots. I recommend serving this with roasted red-skinned potatoes and fresh green beans."
