Tarragon Chicken
Tarragon Chicken
The diced Chicken promotion rages on and is going down a treat in store. I loved the curry although i may leave the seeds of the chilis out the next time. Hot Hot Hot !! Delicious though and cooks away without too much faffing about. Phew - it's getting busy around here. This is another recipe I tried out and It was a big hit with the lads but also so easy and quick. Its already in the same time it took to cook the rice. That 's a winner in my book ....
Try it and see. Yum

#Tips from the butchers wife.
If you don’t have fresh herbs to hand substitute with dried but just reduce the volume to about a third. Bay leaves are the exception to this rule. They loose much of their flavour dried so double the volume.
When you have a glut of herbs you can freeze them in ice cube trays with water or chopped into ice cube trays and covered in olive oil. When frozen you can take them out of the ice cube trays and store in a little container.
