Jazz up your usual chicken recipe with our creamy tarragon and leek main. Begin by grilling the chicken with a sprinkling of our chicken seasoning mix, a savory blend of smoky paprika, peppery parsley and onion. To make the sauce, simply add tangy tarragon and hot vegetable stock after cooking the leeks – the subtle garlicky flavour from the leeks pairs beautifully with the lemony notes of the tarragon. The addition of single cream turns creates a velvety sauce that’s just perfect when spooned over the chicken and a dollop of freshly made mashed potatoes.
