Tarragon Chicken – hints and tips

What to serve with? Depends in the time of year and whether it's a “sit-down” lunch or a supper or dinner “do”.

As a main it's quite a rich dish so, if you're a lover of rice you could have a fried rice full of colour using all your favourite veggies – sliced mange tout, asparagus, corn, fresh peas, broad beans, whatever is in season.

Jersey Royals are in season at the moment – perfect in my opinion - having said that there are other good varieties of new potatoes available most of the year, Charlottes as an example.

You could create a “roast”. If you love your roasties then substitute for the Jerseys. A large tray of roasted veggies too – onions, fennel, carrots and parsnips and both can be part roasted ahead and then finished later.

How about Yorkshire Pudding – you may think I'm crazy but you'd be surprised how many people love it – with whatever else is served!

The other good news is that you can create exactly the same dish for vegetarians using veggie stock and suitable cream, then submerge Quorn fillets or Quorn pieces. Make the sauce and add the Quorn – it takes 12 minutes from frozen. You can get Vegan and Gluten Free versions too.

I think that's most of the boxes ticked!

Coming up … I know this recipe works
