I spent some time up in QLD at my lovely in laws place over Easter. It was the best time AND the food was delicious! (its the most important thing right?! haha). I love seeing what others cook. This was a meal that my mother in law cooked and I knew my boys would love it so had to try it at some stage.  This is my version of the meal and is a little different based on what I had in the pantry at the time.

This is a great recipe to use up leftover Shredded Chicken you may have. If you don’t have any shredded chicken you can make some easily with my recipe here. A BBQ chicken broken up would work just as well too.

Does anyone else have a jar of dried Tarragon leftover from a tmx cooking demo? I had some from a year ago when I bought my machine and never knew what to do with it until now.

This is my take on Tarragon Chicken.

    Peta, I have been looking at and trying your recipes for a few months now and it was only when I was reading this recipe that I realised the second recipe was for non thermomix cooking! Lol, I often wondered why there was 2 copies of the same recipe. Haha, had a little giggle at myself!
