This tarragon chicken with white wine sauce recipe is the perfect elegant dish to upgrade your usual chicken recipes.

Tips on Making Tarragon Chicken with White Wine Sauce

This herbed chicken dish is a rich and savory recipe that you can make even more flavorful with some added ingredients. That’s why we listed some helpful tips and variations for you to try!

  • Try using dry white wine. A dry white wine is less sweet and “crispier” than white wine. It’s a suitable ingredient to mix with the tarragon chicken to give it that light and crisp sauce base with a hint of sharp tang. 
  • Substitute fresh tarragon leaves for a more intense and aromatic flavor. Dried tarragon leaves are convenient to use. However, if you prefer fresh herbs, then you can swap it for the dried tarragon leaves. Adjust the measurements according to your taste. You might want to add just about half a tablespoon of fresh tarragon for this recipe. 
  • Add in heavy cream. If you’re a fan of creamy sauces for chicken, then you can also add in ½ cup of heavy cream to mix with the white wine sauce. You’ll get a delicious thick and smooth white wine sauce that you can pour over the chicken.
