On of my favs is http://www.realsimple.com/m/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/pan-roasted-chicken-lemon-garlic-green-beans-10000000780291/index.html

A couple of tips, use a newer not older lemon so it isn't bitter and I put green beans in later not right at start.

You could also poach and shred chicken breasts for a variety of other recipes like tacos, pasta, chicken salad, etc.


Oooh. Do you have a recipe or could you give me an idea of the proportions of the ingredients in the sauce? Fresh tarragon or dried?


Eek I suck at recipes... I make a lot of stuff up on the fly. I'll try to give approximations and hopefully it works for you! Basically after you pan fry the chicken, take it out and deglaze with 1/2-1 cup chicken stock, depending how much sauce you want. Add a tablespoon of mustard, maybe a teaspoon of dried tarragon (fresh is always better but I never have any so I don't know how much you would use), and mix in a big dollop of yogurt or a large splash of cream. Start out with less stock so you can add more if the sauce is too thick. Easier to do that than thicken it up again.


Thanks.

I made this recently and plan to make it again tomorrow- I can't find chipotle paste, so I had bought some chipotles in adobo in a small can- used some of the adobo and froze the rest. It was delicious.
