When I say simple...I mean simple. Like you are going to have to work hard to mess this up.

Sounds gourmet, no? That's probably because it involves the spice tarragon which many of us don't keep stocked in our pantry cabinets. Which is a shame because tarragon is to chicken as peanut butter is to jelly...as Romeo was to Juliet (without the death)...as bacon is to my husband. They gel, what can I say?

While it is not 'gourmet' as far as technique goes, this is what I call a 'Weekend Meal' because it does take a lot more prep work than other weeknight meals.

It also happens to be completely ridiculously delicious.
