This classic French dish features red wine vinegar, which is added during the deglazing step. This technique incorporates the cooking juices from the chicken to concentrate the flavours. The result is a very tasty sauce in which the vinegar, reduced almost to dry, is very subtle. Adding cream at the end of cooking helps to thicken the sauce as well as mellow and bind the flavours. Tarragon, added just before serving, adds a fresh note to each bite. This was the first recipe Ricardo cooked on the CBC, in Regina in 1991!
