Tarragon-Cream Chicken
"Flexibility is the secret to this recipe. If you don't have the wine, you can use chicken broth. Can't find prosciutto? You can substitute bacon or omit entirely. Quick and simple."

Very good recipe. I used ham instead of bacon or prosciutto, as I was trying to get rid of the leftover Christmas ham (The website pulled recipe up for a "ham" search.) I had to add extra salt to make up for the pork difference. Nonetheless, an average rating of 4.67 stars was pretty good for my family. -
This is really good. I didn't have prosciutto this time (there will be a next time), so used bacon. It was a really nice combination of flavors. The fresh tarragon is the star of this dish. Highly recommend.
