TARRAGON CHICKEN
This is a quick-time version of the classic French poulet a l'estragon (though you could speed it up further by bashing out the chicken breast or by using a turkey cutlet in its place, which would make this dish pleasingly alliterative) and is an instant reminder of the comforts of old-school cooking. Tender chicken (it's the poaching early on that sees to this), aromatically fresh and insistently herbal tarragon, a generous splosh of vermouth, all rounded off by rich, pale cream: this has the nostalgic, yet robust, charm of that French bistro of fond memory or happy imaginings. If you can't get fresh tarragon, do not despair: just double the freeze-dried tarragon at the start and add some freshly chopped parsley at the end. And I can assure you it would be worth your while considering a teaspoon of tarragon mustard, too, along with the cream. About which, please don't wimp out on me: this is old-fashioned cooking which cannot be proscribed by new-age dietary concerns. But, if you insist, halve the cream, and add another 2 tablespoons of vermouth when you're pouring the rest in after the chicken's had its first 5 minutes cooking. Eat with a tumbled mixture of French or green beans and asparagus tips along with steamed baby white-skinned potatoes or, hard to beat for me, some white basmati rice forked through with a soupcon of butter and freshly ground white pepper.

Steps:
- Heat the garlic oil in a frying pan or Dutch oven that has a lid and in which the chicken breasts will fit pretty snugly. Add the scallions, stir, then sprinkle in the freeze-dried tarragon, stir again and cook them in the garlic oil for a minute, stirring some more as they cook.
- Put the chicken fillets into the pan, curved side down, and cook for 5 minutes, watching the scallions don't burn. If they look like they're beginning to, scrape them from the pan and let them sit on the chicken pieces.
- Turn over the breasts, and add the vermouth (or white wine). Let the vermouth bubble up, then add the salt. Put the lid on, turn the heat down low and leave it to simmer gently for 10 minutes. Check the chicken is cooked through by making a small cut into the thickest part and ensuring the juices run clear - if not, simmer for a few minutes longer and check again.
- Remove the chicken breasts to warmed plates. Bring the remaining liquid to a boil, add the cream and stir well, then sprinkle in the fresh tarragon, stir again and give a good grind of white pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts, and give a final scattering of tarragon to serve.

Steps:
- Season both sides of the chicken with dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven (or large skillet) over medium-high heat. Carefully lower the chicken into the pot and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side to sear (just until they begin to brown slightly). Transfer the still-raw chicken to a plate.
- Reduce the heat under the pot to medium. Add chopped onion and optional mushrooms. Cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Add the wine to deglaze the pan, cooking for about 1 minute more.
- Add the cream and half of the tarragon. Return the chicken to the pot and adjust the heat so that the cream gently simmers. Cover and cook, turning chicken occasionally, until it's firm and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with butter, season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
- Remove chicken pieces from the pot, raise heat to medium-high and continue to simmer the sauce, uncovered, for a few minutes to thicken. Re-season with remaining tarragon and additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove about 1 cup of sauce and toss it with the egg noodles. Plate up the noodles, then place the chicken over the noodles and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

- Then add the chicken cubes to the dressing.
- Put it in a plastic dish and refrigerate for 4 hours so that the flavours get stronger.
- Use this filling to make sandwiches as required.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use fresh tarragon: Fresh tarragon has a much more pronounced flavor than dried tarragon, so it's worth seeking out if you can find it. If you can't find fresh tarragon, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried tarragon instead.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important to cook it just until it is cooked through. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Serve immediately: Chicken bundles are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help ensure that the chicken stays juicy and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Tarragon chicken bundles are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of tarragon, lemon, and white wine creates a bright and flavorful sauce that complements the tender chicken perfectly. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
