- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
- Place the chicken breasts into an oven roasting bag, seal and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the centre.
- Meanwhile combine the honey and wine in a saucepan over a medium heat, season with salt and pepper and cook till the mixture has reduced down by two thirds, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add chicken stock and tarragon and cook till reduced by half. Finally add the cream and cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Take chicken out of the oven and carefully remove from oven roasting bag. Add the chicken to the cream sauce and stir to coat thoroughly. Serve hot.
Tip
This is a very forgiving recipe so measurements don't need to be exact nor reducing down levels.
