Chicken in Tarragon Cream Sauce

 Robin (Connecticut) says:
This recipe makes the cheapest cut of chicken being the thighs and drum sticks a gourmet meal. I used fresh tarragon from my garden and doubled the amount because I love the taste. I served it with white rice which the sauce went quite well with. This is my favorite chicken recipe now.
