Roast Tarragon Chicken





A classic ingredient in French cooking, tarragon is known for its cool, bittersweet minty flavor and anise-like aroma. Use it to flavor egg and cheese dishes, as well as meat and poultry.





Makes 6 servings.





1 whole chicken (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)


3 tablespoons olive oil


1 tablespoon Tarragon Leaves


2 teaspoons Minced Garlic made from Fresh Garlic


1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, Coarse Grind


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved


8 small shallots





Preheat oven to 375掳F.


Place chicken, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Mix olive oil, tarragon, garlic, pepper and salt in medium bowl. Add tomatoes and shallots; toss to coat. Remove tomatoes and shallots; set aside. Brush the chicken with remaining olive oil mixture.





Roast 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until chicken is cooked through. During last 25 minutes of roasting, arrange shallots around chicken in pan. During the last 10 minutes of roasting, arrange tomatoes around chicken in pan.





Remove tomatoes, shallots and chicken from the roasting pan. Cover chicken; let stand 10 minutes before carving. Serve chicken with shallots and tomatoes.





French Chicken Breast with Orange Tarragon Sauce





8 chicken breasts, skin on and wing bone attached


4 tablespoons butter


4 tablespoons olive oil


Salt and pepper


1/2 cup orange juice


2 cups chicken broth


2 sprigs tarragon


4 TBS unsalted butter, cut into bits





Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.





Put 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a large skillet and place it over high heat for 2 minutes. Season the chicken breasts with a sprinkling of salt and pepper and place 4 of the breasts in the pan skin side down. Sear for 1 minute or until the skin is crispy and a golden brown. Turn the breasts and sear 1 more minute. Remove to a baking dish and repeat the process with the rest of the butter, oil and breasts. Place the baking dish into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.





Add orange juice, chicken broth, and tarragon to the hot skillet. Cook until reduced by about 3/4 (sauce should coat the back of a spoon). Right before serving, whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.





Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top.
