Get 300 ml chicken stock / 10 oz .

Get Spray2Cook ” ( a word used to describe

Add the cream and tarragon to the skillet and heat to boiling. This classic French combo of wine, cream sauce, grapes, and (in this case) chicken should be understated and elegant. But misguided modern cooks have made it a messy patchwork. Heat a large frypan over a medium to high heat and add oil.
Instructions to make Chicken Véronique:
Pre-heat an oven (170oC / 325oF / Gas Mark 3).
Grind the tarragon mixed with the salt and pepper in a pestle and mortar. Cut a deep slit in the rounded side of the chicken breasts to form a large pocket. Support the breasts with the pocket open. Share the tarragon and seasoning mix across the breasts in the pockets and secure the pouch closed with a few toothpicks / cocktail sticks as necessary.
Spray an oven-proof fry pan with Spray2Cook and put on a medium to high heat. Fry the chicken until evenly brown all over. Add half the stock and put in the oven for 20 minutes. During cooking check the stock has not evaporated and add a little water as needed – it should be just about fully evaporated at the end of the cooking time.
Remove the chicken and place under the broiler / grill set to medium. Add the a little more stock to the fry pan and scrape the cooking juices in to mix then add the rest of the stock. Put on medium heat. Blend the cornstarch with a little water (adding slowly) and then add the blended cornstarch to the pan as it just starts to bubble. Allow it boil. Stir in the crème fraîche keeping the sauce to a simmer.
As the sauce warms through check the chicken is browning and turn the heat up or down as required. When the chicken looks good stir the grapes through the sauce and serve the chicken (thickly sliced).
Turn over and cook for a further minute. Remove and rest on a plate. This is a quite delightful Chicken Pot-roast Veronique: a plump free-range chicken braised with wine, vermouth and a hint of tarragon and grapes. Add to that some Jerseys and something green and leafy and you have a perfect Sunday lunch. Chicken is a family favorite for dinner.
