Keeping food interesting and full of flavour is very important, especially if your sticking to a healthy eating plan. Good tasty food will not only make you feel satisfied after eating it but it will also help stop the cravings for all the wrong stuff.  This “Mushroom and Tarragon Chicken” recipe is full of flavour, its perfect for all the family and versatile in what you can serve with it.

If you have never used tarragon before, I would advise you to start with just a little bit, before adding a bit more until you get to the desired taste to suit your taste buds, the sweet aniseed flavour of this herb really compliments this dish, and I hope that you will enjoy it as much as my family and I do 😉
