Although the sauce was wonderful, the cooking time of 15-20 minutes was extremely underestimated. I cooked it for an additional 15 minutes and it was still under done. I would suggest 30-40 minutes instead.

This recipe was quite easy to execute. It took quite a bit longer than 1 min per side of "searing" however. And I think searing is the wrong word... unless the intent really is to totally burn the butter. I browned each side of the chicken for about 3 min. But the sauce turned out quite nice. Be generous with the salt and pepper on big chicken breasts. And I tasted the sauce as it reduced and got that tarragon out of there before it got overwhelming. This recipe give you a good amount of time to work on other sides at the same time. Whipped up some glazed carrots and some brown rice w/ suateed mushrooms and onions.

I prepared this recipe and both my husband and I loved it. It is light and flavorful. The sauce is very, very good. I highly recommend it. Minerva from Fajardo, PR

This is a good chicken dish but nothing to get excited about. The sauce has a nice flavor. Go easy on the fresh tarragon; it's a strong herb. The cooking technique works very well and can be used with other sauces. Browning the chicken in a skillet before putting it in the oven makes the skin crispy and flavorful, and it makes the cooking time shorter.

I used boneless skinless breasts for this recipe. It turned out great. The sauce was simple, but tasted like i spend all day at the stove. I will definitely entertain with this recipe. I served the chicken with white rice made using chicken stock in place of H2O.

I used conventional bone-in chicken breasts without the wing. Encountered the recipe by searching "tarragon chicken" in hopes of finding ways to use surplus tarragon from our garden. I will definitely make this again and again!

We loved the orange flavor to the chicken..I did add some flour to the sauce to make it a little thicker...made this with the fingerling potatoes and green bean. EXCELLENT!!
