Delicious! I read reviews and made some minor changes which my family said made it 5 stars. One daughter doesn't like chicken and loved this. I doubled the sauce and mushrooms, which is a must. I used 5 large "frozen" chicken breasts and cooked in a slow cooker on low for 5¼ hours. I shifted the lower pieces to the top half way through, to cook evenly. The chicken was very moist which may be due to putting them in frozen. I added 1 chopped onion & 2 chopped celery ribs. For a doubled sauce, I increased the tarragon to 3 teaspoons. I tried to just double the flour slurry but the sauce wasn't thick enough. I didn't want the sauce to taste too floury so I added the following cornstarch slurry: Pour 1/4 cup white wine in a measuring cup and stir in 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add the cornstarch mixture to the flour/sauce slurry in the saucepan & whisk over medium heat until thickened before adding back to the slow cooker. The celery is optional but without the onion, white wine & increasing the tarragon, it was too bland for us. I serve over rice or egg noodles. This is a keeper! Thank you, Mary!
I really loved this! The only thing that I changed was I double this sauce so that there would be more gravy. I made it with mashed potatoes & green bean casserole.
I gave it 5 stars because it is easy, delicious, nutritious and not terribly expensive when you get chicken breasts on sale. This will become a staple in our house! Thanks for a great recipe.
This dish is awesome! I didnt have mushrooms on hand, so instead I used 2 jars of marinated artichoke hearts with the liquid. AMAZING!!!
This was a quick and delicious weeknight meal. Perfect for those days when you don't feel like cooking, but want something easy, home-made and inexpensive. I love the flavor of tarragon, and sherry is always a welcome addition to any dish. I just baked in the oven at 350 for an hour and 15 minutes, covered. Thanks for sharing!
We liked this and will definitely make again. The only change I made was to add a small can of marinated artichokes. My husband loved it, even though he turned up his nose when he saw me putting mushrooms in... I may leave out the flour next time, I don't really have a need to have a thick sauce.
Very good! I added 2 small cans of mushrooms and it was perfect! I think it would go well with artichokes too... Thickened the liquid with cornstarch then put a piece of chicken over some rigatoni then poured the sauce on top. Thanks! Will definitely make this again maybe with a little less sherry.
another very good recipe i have found on this site. i made a quick version of this. instead of the crock pot i used the stove and simmered the ingredients on medium low heat for 35 minutes (covered) stirring every so often. i whisked in only half of the flour (maybe because it wasn't done in the slow cooker) and served it over hot rice topped with just a dash of oregano. will definitely make again. maybe on egg noodles.
I just recently discovered that I really love tarragon, so I was excited to try this. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out very good, kids and husband both were impressed. Will make again.
