“This old-school classic really hits the spot: it’s so full of flavor, and poaching the chicken keeps it nice and moist. Most supermarkets now stock some great wild mushrooms, so be adventurous and get some exotic-looking ones.”
“Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, then slide in the chicken. Lower the heat until the water is just “burping” and not vigorously boiling. Let the chicken cook for 12 minutes, by which time it should be fully cooked through.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium to high heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Roughly chop any larger mushrooms and throw them into the pan, to give them a head start for a minute or two before adding the rest of the mushrooms and cooking for another minute.
Increase the heat to maximum, then pour in the white wine and let it bubble away to almost nothing. Drop in the spinach and stir until wilted. Pour in the cream, then bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Add the chopped tarragon and remove the pan from the heat.
Check that the chicken is cooked by slicing into the thickest part of the breast: the meat should be white all the way through and the juices should run clear, not pink. Remove to a plate, draining off as much liquid as possible. Season with salt and Pepper then place on two plates and pour over the delicious creamy sauce.
Serve with a big portion of your favorite greens such as broccoli, peas or green beans
