Tarragon Chicken with Apples image

"When friends in Winnipeg served us this delicious chicken, I knew I had to have the recipe," says Karen Moffatt from Lake Cowichan, British Columbia. "It originally called for whipping cream, which is a little high in fat for me. I substituted 1% milk and found that it was just as good but not quite as rich."

I'm not a huge fan of tarragon, but I thought this dish was still really good. The apples and chicken were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful and rich.

I found that the chicken was a bit dry. I think I would have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a more savory sauce.
