Unfortunately I had to use dried tarragon as for the life of me I could not find fresh in the supermarkets or greengrocers and even tried the nursery to see if I could get some in a pot that I could also plant in the herb garden but no go. Also I don't have vermouth in the house so used a dry white wine and the end result with me scaling the recipe back to one serve was absolutely delicious, I usually have at least a 1/4 to 1/2 a breast left over but not tonight it was just to delicious to leave even a morsel behind thank you lazyme, made for For You Consideration tag game at FF&F.
