If using cornstarch, mix it in a small bowl with ½ tablespoon water and add it with the cream and milk.

You can substitute dried tarragon, but the flavor won’t be nearly as good. Use 1 ½ teaspoons dried tarragon.

This tarragon chicken recipe makes 4 modest servings. If you’ve got very hungry eaters or more people to feed, consider making 1.5 times or double the recipe. If so, use a very large skillet and pan-fry the chicken in batches.
