Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix together the crème fraîche, mustard, garlic and stock with some seasoning. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, in a roasting tray just large enough for the chicken and vegetables.
  2. Tuck the potatoes and beans in between the chicken pieces. Pour over the stock mixture then season the chicken and drizzle with honey. Cook for 40-45 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes tender. Scatter over the tarragon before serving
Try

Whole chicken

Why not try this recipe using a whole jointed chicken. Don't add the chicken breasts at the start, instead add with 30 mins to go.

    Sauce was far too sweet and the mustard was over powering!!! Didn't like the tarragon flavour and the potatoes were still hard after 60mins cooking. Would not recommend!

    Made this tonight for two with the measurements halved and it worked really well and came out looking exactly like the photo. I was using regular potatoes, so I quartered them and that seemed to take care of the problem others here were having with them. Added the beans for the last 15-20 mins, and they were good - cooked but still crunchy. I agree that the tarragon is quite strong and not really necessary - there are enough flavours going on anyway. A really easy but impressive looking meal - will make again.

    Simple - Easy - Inexpensive. Ideal for a delicious midweek dinner or equally as impressive as a dinner party main. Can highly recommend

    made this for dinner the other night.......used chicken breasts as that was what I had in the fridge. Took other comments on board, and I added some carrot and peppers to the mix, and cooked the green beans seperate. Served with broccoli and a little white to soak up the sauce.....was really nice, even the children(3 yrs and 18 months) ate it all.

    I made this on Sunday instead of the regular roast and it was delicious and sooooo simple. Though I did skip the green beans due to the comments, and used halved spring onions instead which was very tasty! Perfect for a I can't be bothered to cook day =]

    Family loved it, I added the green beans twenty minutes later, seemed to work fine, and out of lazyness used tin potatoes, sure fresh would bebetter but it didn't stop this being loved by husband and children. I loved the speed and ease of making it, totally effortless. Fantastic.

    Delicious! didn't stray much from recipe, just added green beans later (after 60s in microwave) as recommended and added some leftover asparagus and shallots too. Ridiculously easy and very much enjoyed :)

    My family love this quick easy recipe, It has all the things in it that kids like. Did what most other people said and put the green beans in 10 mins at the end to avoid incineration, but other than that didn't change anything else. No need to its lovely as it is. Rachel

    For me 2 tbsp of honey was far too much, it totally overtook the flavour and made it far too sweet. Maybe 1 tsp of honey would've been better for me. Also, a couple of tips no matter what your taste: make sure u add the potatoes when u put the chicken in as I thought due to the fact everyone said there veg were overcooked id add them in the last 20mins as u would in normal steam cooking but they were still very hard. And, make sure u crisp the chicken skin up beforehand as it wont quite obviously get crispy. so Id suggest to avoid more washing up, fry it in your dish then add all the ingredients after and whack in the oven!

    This was delicious, the best bit is that once you have done the preparation you can just leave it and get on with something else. Part way through cooking it looked like the green beans were burning so I took it out of the oven and tucked them further under the sauce, they turned out just right. My 7 year old said yuk I don't like green beans, then proceeded to eat the lot because the sauce was so yummy!

    Definitely cook greens separately or add near the end. I removed chicken skin and wrapped in smoked bacon.
