1. Fry the chicken in the oil in a wide pan for 5 mins on each side. Throw in the potatoes and stir to coat. Pour over the chicken stock, cover and simmer for 10 mins until the potatoes are almost cooked through.
2. Remove the lid and turn the heat to high. Boil the stock down until it just coats the bottom of the pan. Scatter the vegetables into the pan, cover again and cook the veg for about 3 mins.
3. Stir in the crème fraîche to make a creamy sauce, season with pepper and salt, if you want, then add the tarragon. Serve straight from the pan.

Make it tangy

For a mustardy sauce, stir 1 tbsp of wholegrain mustard in with the crème fraîche. Use 1tbsp of dried tarragon instead of fresh.

'We enjoy dishes with sauce and this one was good, with delicious vegetables - it was also easy to mash for our youngest, child. This is ideal for day-to-day dining.'

  This was easy to make and delicious - something the whole family will enjoy. The veg can be varied to whatever you have at hand - I threw in a packet of Birds Eye mixed veg!

  this was a really quick and tasty dish however I think I sliced the potatoes too thin - they broke down into a bit of a mush but still, tasty mush it was!

  I loved, my husband found a bit bland, but he's not known for his subtlety! I scaled up the recipe to serve 4 which made the pan a bit crowded, and a litre of stock is too much - I suggest you go with 750ml if you are serving 4.

  I tried this last night, could possibly make it tastier by adding some garlic & onion or shallot

  Tried the 'make it tangy' suggestion above but 1 tbsp of mustard was a bit too overpowering so would suggest 1/2 tbsp. Enjoyed it though regardless and very easy to make

  This recipe works very well - & is cheaper & tastier - if you 1) use chicken thighs (skin off). Just extend the time you simmer: simmer for 30-40 minutes, adding the potatoes 10 minutes before end of cooking time; 2) crush a couple of garlic cloves, adding at end of step 1; 3) use dried tarragon; 4) as a treat - use 300ml stock, 200ml dry white wine.

  The potatoes, vegetables, stock and creme fraiche were absolutely wonderful together, creating the perfect flavour. However, the chicken breast was rather dry, and I felt that it had been cooked for too long.

  Really good recipe and very tasty. Found that there was to much stock so next time will use slightly less. Also added some extra veg and used skinless chicken.
