TARRAGON CHICKEN BUNDLES
This is posted in response to a request for recipes using tarragon. I got this recipe from Taste of Home magazine. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to very soon! It calls for 2 teaspoons dried tarragon, but I bet it would be even yummier if fresh tarragon was used! Prep time includes time to cut up the chicken and vegetables.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality protein.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken or vegetables, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them soggy.
- Season your food well: Don't be afraid to season your food with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein and can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
