Lemon Tarragon Chicken image

This is yummy, quick and easy. I got the recipe from Publix Apron's Simple Meals series. I used flour instead of cornstarch and added a little bit more wine because I had a little more chicken. You can also use fresh tarragon if you have it. I served this with orzo with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli. I just added the sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli to the water that the orzo was boiling in. Very easy side dish.
