Chicken with Tarragon Mayonnaise
It is important to use fresh tarragon in this dish: dried tarragon is a poor substitute.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breast fillets skinned
- 2 celery sticks trimmed and sliced
- 7 floz dry white wine
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 pint lemon mayonnaise
- fresh tarragon sprigs to garnish
Instructions
- Put the chicken breasts in a large frying pan. Add the celery, wine, tarragon, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 20 - 30 minutes until tender. Leave to cool.
- When cool, strain the juices into a pan and boil rapidly until reduced to 90 ml (6 tbsp). Leave to cool.
- Arrange the chicken on a serving plate. Stir the reduced marinade into the mayonnaise and spoon over the chicken. Serve, garnished with tarragon.
