  I agree that this was a bit too runny and I decided to take the asparagus out of the pan before simmering the sauce as I wanted to reduce it down a bit - I then put the aspargus back in at the end.

  Used double cream instead as didn't have any creme fraiche and it worked out beautifully. Also agree its a runny sauce so might reduce amount if stock next time. The tarragon was lovely.

  Made thiis one tonight on the side burner on my grill as it is too hot to use the stove. Regarding the runny sauce I coated the chicken in seasoned flour before browning it and that helped alot. I also added more sour cream then called for, made it very creamy and lovely. I did use frozen asparagus and it was fine, but realize I would rather have fresh (out of season now) or I could substitute cauliflower,fesh peas, broccoli whateveris in season and it would be as nice. Would definately make again. Oh yes, I also roasted the potatos on my grill while I cooked the chicken mixture. LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Not the best recipe. I was expecting a lovely creamy sauce. What I got was too runny - this recipe used far too much stock.

  I was expecting it to be a bit bland and was surprised by how tasty it was! I reduced the amount of stock to 200ml and I think the consistency of the sauce turned out just right. A great, quick and easy meal.

  Really enjoyed this dish! Yes - and even I could manage to cook it! Took note of the commets of others and reduced the amount of stock - then found I needed to add some more! Will definitely try this one again! Tasty and good on the eye.

  I coated the chicken in seasoned flour before cooking and it thickened the sauce perfectly. Used soya equivalent of creme fraiche and it was absolutely gorgeous! The timings are wrong on the recipe for the chicken. Mine was still raw in the middle after following the recipe and had to cook it for longer but I suppose it depends on the size of chicken breast you use. Will definitely make this again though. Cheap, easy and tasty.
