4 small lemons
2 tbsp olive oil

200g tub crème fraîche
2 tbsp chopped tarragon
zest and juice ½ lemon

Roast for a further 30-40 mins until the chickens are well cooked and glossy. Remove from the tins and leave to cool. They can now be wrapped in foil and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hrs.

  • To serve, separate the leaves from the Little Gems, then arrange over two platters. Remove the breasts from the chickens in one piece, then pull the meat from the legs and wings and shred it. Cut each breast into 7-8 pieces. Put a little brown meat in each lettuce leaf, then top each with a slice of breast. Just before serving, drizzle a little dressing over each piece of chicken.
