POACHED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE
Both the vinaigrette and the poaching liquid for the chicken are prepared with fresh tarragon. (When buying this herb, look for true French tarragon, which has a delicate anise flavor, rather than the coarser Russian variety.)

Steps:
- Make a bouquet garni: Tie tarragon stems, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a small square of cheesecloth. Place bouquet garni, sherry, celery, onion, and 5 cups water in a medium pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to the gently simmering liquid, and cook until firm and juices run clear when pierced with a two-pronged fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove chicken from poaching liquid, and arrange on serving plates. Drizzle with lemon vinaigrette.
