    Quick, easy and absolutely delicious! Couldn't ask for more! I left out the creme fraiche and added a bit of bacon cut into pieces. Delicious. Will definitely make this again!

    Have made this a few times now and it is always a winner. My 77 year old aunt who enjoys 'simple' food absolutely adores it as do my grandchildren. The creme fraiche makes the sauce lovely and creamy. My grand-daughter picked up her plate and drank her left over sauce. I use parsley instead of tarragon.

    Really easy and yummy recipe, I love the tarragon flavour! I didn't bother with creme fraiche and added some lentils to bulk it up a bit as it was a bit too watery for me ...so next time I will add less stock. Blitzed the leftovers for a lovely thick soup the next day. A family winner.

    Very easy to cook! I improvised a bit by replacing tarragon with fresh chopped rosemary and by adding white beans in the end of cooking. Also I didn't add crème fraîche. It turned out absolutely delicious!

    Made this tonight for our family of 5 and it went down really well and was surprisingly filling. Used chicken breast cut into chunks, dried tarragon and low fat greek yoghurt instead of crème fraîche. Also added a can of butter beans. It makes lots of dribbly sauce so thickened a bit with some corn flour. Gorgeous served with crusty, granary baguette. Left overs got liquidised for soup for tomorrow's lunch!

    I didnt think that I liked tarragon, have now discovered that I do, an easy and quick recipe. Ideal for when you really dont feel like cooking but want something easy and tasty but healthy.
