This Tarragon Vinegar Chicken delivers restaurant-quality flavor with minimal effort. Tender bone-in chicken simmers in a tangy tarragon vinegar sauce with mushrooms, carrots, and shallots. The licorice-like aroma of fresh tarragon pairs beautifully with the bright acidity of the vinegar, finished with a touch of cream for a silky sauce.
