• Olive oil
• 1 splash of white wine or marsala wine (optional)

• 100 ml double cream or creme fraiche

Method

1. Partly flatten the chicken fillets by cutting through the widest part of the fillet and opening out, then flattening by hand - it should not be very flat like a schnitzel.
2. Coat the chicken fillets with the flour and fry in olive oil over a medium heat.
3. Make roast potatoes or other carbohydrates of your choice e.g. mashed potatoes or Boiled rice.
4. When the chicken is cooked, set aside and keep warm.
5. Wash the mushrooms and remove the hard bottoms of their stalks, slice them and juice the lemon.
6. Boil or steam the broccoli.
7. Add the splash of wine (optional) and lemon juice to the pan and deglaze.
8. Add the tarragon and mushrooms and cook for a couple of minutes.
9. Stir in the double cream or creme fraiche, cooking for a few minutes more and season with freshly cracked black pepper.
