Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3 1/2 lb) whole chickens (jointed into 8 pieces, or 4 bone-in chicken breast portions)
2/3 cup sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 shallots, peeled and left whole
6 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
1 3/4 cups dry sherry
1 tablespoon low-fat yogurt
1 pinch salt
plenty fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and season the chicken joints with a little salt and plenty of pepper.
  • Fry the chicken, on a medium heat, in two batches, as this will mean you can get them to brown nicely, then place on a plate.
  • The chicken should be golden brown coloured, but not cooked through.
  • Put the shallots into the frying pan and cook for a couple of minutes. When they are soft and lightly golden brown add the garlic and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes until it has softened slightly.
  • Turn the heat down, return the chicken pieces to the pan, sprinkle over the tarragon leaves and pour in the vinegar and sherry.
  • Stir lightly so that all the flavours blend, and then turn the heat right down and simmer very gently for about 25 minutes.
  • Turn over the chicken pieces, so that they cook evenly, and allow to simmer for another 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a serving dish big enough for all the chicken and sauce in a low oven 275°F to warm through.
  • Take the cooked chicken, garlic and onions out of the frying pan, leaving the sauce behind and place on the warmed plate.
  • Finish off the dish by stirring the yoghurt into the remaining sauce in the pan. Check the seasoning before pouring over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle any spare tarragon leaves on top as a garnish before serving with baked potatoes, rice, couscous or pasta.

TARRAGON CHICKEN



Tarragon Chicken image

I hesitate even to call this a recipe. Don't think of that sauce-heavy French traditional dish, but rather a quick way of infusing poultry with a liquorish herbal hit of summery freshness. You can marinate it in the fridge all day in advance, but if planning ahead is not one of your strengths, then know that even half an hour at room temperature does its bit.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3- to 4-pound chicken
3/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
Malden salt or other flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Butterfly chicken by placing it breast-side down and, using kitchen shears, cutting along both sides of backbone and through small rib bones. Discard backbone, and place chicken in a large plastic bag with zipper. Add 1/2 cup tarragon, the lemon juice and zest, and olive oil. Expel as much air as possible from bag, and make sure marinade coats chicken. Refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken in a roasting pan, spread flat, breast side up. Roast until skin is crisp and golden, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with salt to taste, and cut into 8 serving pieces. Transfer to a platter, and garnish with remaining tarragon. Serve, if desired, with salad and roasted potatoes.

CHICKEN IN A TARRAGON VINEGAR SAUCE



Chicken in a Tarragon Vinegar Sauce image

I first had this at my aunt and uncle's house last summer. I'm not sure where they got it from, but it is the most amazing recipie. I've never been a big fan of tarragon, but this chicken is incredibly moist and delicious. I wasn't even that hungry and I finished off my entire plate. The key is to use fresh tarragon. This is a great light dish and can easily be doubled. Also, a little big of regular onion can be subsituted if you don't have shallots. I recommend serving this with roasted red-skinned potatoes and fresh green beans.
