TARRAGON-CREAM CHICKEN

Tarragon-Cream Chicken image

I wanted to do something different with chicken breast, so I put together this recipe based on ingredients I had on hand. Every time I made it, I experimented a little more, until my family declared, "This is perfect. Don't change a thing!" -Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois
