Tarragon is a popular and versatile herb, it has an intense flavour that's a unique mix of sweet aniseed and a mild vanilla. The leaves are narrow, tapering and slightly floppy, growing from a long, slender stem. It's a key herb in French cuisine (it's an essential ingredient in sauce Bernaise), and goes very well with eggs, cheese and poultry.

ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks so yummy. I don't normally cook my food with mushrooms, but I heard they help to burn fat, so I need to start adding them. The recipe seems simple to prepare. Hugs and thanks so much! RO
ReplyDeleteI had chicken and mushrooms last night. My daughter went to the store for me and bought baby bellas instead of the white button mushrooms but they were very good. Firs time I'd had them.
ReplyDeleteSounds delish Jan, I wouldn't have thought that it would have so many calories?
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds good too.
ReplyDeleteTrying to get caught up after not blogging for a couple of days.
Hold the chicken and add more mushrooms for me.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! And so simple, too.

Hello Grace, this recipe is from Melissa and I didn't check her nutritional measurements.
But as we know "consuming the right balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat can help you maintain a healthy weight and optimize your energy levels. Protein and carbohydrates both contain 4 calories per gram, while fat provides 9 calories per gram. Calculating your calorie needs can help you determine how many grams of protein, carbohydrates and fat you should consume each day." More details on this here:

Thank you! My mom and I will be enjoying this one!
ReplyDeleteI do like mushrooms. never tried tarragon though. Can't stand the taste of aniseed though, the combo of that and vanilla does sound like a really unusual one.
