Yum What I Made for Dinner Last Night which was really really good→[More:]Chicken & Fresh Corn in Tarragon Cream
Saute about 3 or 4 finely chopped cloves of garlic and a big jalapeno that's mostly but not quite all seeded and also finely chopped in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
Scrape the kernels off two ears of fresh corn into the pan and saute those.
Add two boneless skinless cut up into chunks chicken breasts.
Saute the whole damn thing for a while until it's sort of like just about done.
Add about 1/2 cup of heavy cream and two or three tablespoons of dried tarragon & salt & pepper.
Cook it over low heat for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens a bit.
Serve over couscous. I make my couscous with chicken broth because I'm decadent like that.
This is so easy and so good that I had to share. Enjoy!

Sounds absolutely delicious. I love fresh sauteed corn, I don't eat it enough.

This sounds like a good way to use up some fresh tarragon, too. I have a giant tarragon plant in my garden, and the woe is, I don't like tarragon. Other than making infused vinegars for gifts, I never seem to find great things to do with it.

Chicken & Fresh Corn in Tarragon Cream: The recipe is in the title, that's my kind of cooking.

You send it to gaspodes, Miko, that's what you do!

Sounds delish, mgl!

Yeah, the original recipe called for fresh tarragon but I didn't have any, so I used dried. What happened was I found the recipe *cough*at work*cough* and emailed it to myself and then got home & realized I had no internet. So I just made it anyway based on a vague memory and this is what emerged.

Oh, I love tarragon on chicken. Makes super-duper chicken salad too.

You are a cook after my own heart. Recipes are just a jumping-off point (unless baking, and even then...)

(How does your young'un cope without internet at home?)
