Orange Tarragon Chicken W/Sour Cream Sauce image

I hope you enjoy this dish, which has been adapted from a friend's recipe. I serve this with rice and green vegetables. This can also be made with boneless chicken breasts, but for some reason it seems to be more flavorful using the bone-in chicken.
