Very Cool recipe on Chicken Tarragon Pie


His delicious cake is a delicious mix of fresh tarragon, mushrooms and chicken. I serve with a mixed green salad, vinaigrette and fresh crusty bread for a quick and satisfying meal. There is something to be said for fresh tarragon and chicken combination. I've learned in France, but it works. It's a welcome change to fresh basil, to Italians have shared with us. Sure, you can not be more French than heavy cream, mushrooms and fresh tarragon in a saucepan add. Whichever way you put together this recipe, whether you're home-made pie crust or ready to use one from the store, you get rave reviews from family or guests. Serve hot or warm from the oven. It is a good addition to the buffet table too.

Adding some fresh herbs for your crust turn from ordinary to extraordinary.
