Tarragon Chicken

This is a really delicious summer dish, which is quick to prepare. Hope you enjoy.

Poach the chicken pieces in a roasting tray, covered with water, few lemon wedges and a pinch of salt.

Oven at 160c, this will probably take 30mins or so.

Remove to a plate to cool, and then put into the fridge to chill. Allow the chicken to get cold before taking from the fridge and slicing quite thinly.

The sauce is very easy simple beat the sour cream into the mayonnaise to a smooth mixture, add the zest and juice of a lemon.

Chop the tarragon quite finely and add to the sauce along with seasoning to taste.

Now mix the chicken into the sauce and turn out onto your favourite serving plate.

Finally decorate with the strips of sundried tomato. Lovely with a green salad , and new potatoes with chopped mint.
