TARRAGON-CREAM CHICKEN
Flexibility is the secret to this recipe. If you don't have the wine, you can use chicken broth. Can't find prosciutto? You can substitute bacon or omit entirely. Quick and simple.

This is comfort food at its finest. I cook it at least once a week and usually serve it with homemade mashed potatoes and sautéed fresh green beans. -Cher Schwartz, Ellisville, Missouri

TARRAGON CREAM CHICKEN
This came from Cooking Pleasures Magazine, March 2008. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks easy and yummy. If you don't have tenders, you can substitute boneless, skinless breasts, but you may need to cook a bit longer. For a dish with a little more zing, add 2 teaspoons of course ground mustard with the cream. Updated 7/28/11: I made this for dinner last night, and the family loved it! I used the optional mustard, and it really made the sauce.
