tarragon chicken

1 good tender chicken (1.8kg in weight)

juice of 1 lemon

55g butter

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 bunch of tarragon finely chopped plus a few whole tarragon leaves

2 egg yolks

225ml cream

Rub the outside of the chicken with lemon juice.

Mash the butter with salt and pepper and 1 tbsp of chopped tarragon then put this inside the bird.

Poach the chicken in a ridded pan with water barely to cover for about one hour until cooked. Leave to cool in the stock.

Take out the chicken and place it whole in a deepish serving dish; strain the stock.

Now beat the egg yolks with the cream and another tablespoon of chopped tarragon.

Heat about 300ml of stock in a small pan then pour a spoonful or two on to the egg and cream mixture.

Pour it all back into the pan stirring continuously until the sauce thickens but do not make it too thick as it will solidify slightly as it cools.

Pour it over the chicken in the dish and leave to get cold.

Before serving arrange a few whole tarragon leaves along the breast of the chicken.

Or skin the chicken cut into portions then pour the sauce over.

Serves 6
