Recipe for Balsamic tarragon chicken for two


I am very proud to have invented this dish myself. Balsamic vinegar makes a great alternative to red wine for this pot roast. Just be careful when you pour it into the pan as the fumes can make your eyes very sore.

Ingredients

• Whole chicken (or chicken pieces if you prefer. Breast is less calories but legs i.e. thigh and drumstick are fine, if you prefer them)
• Half onion chopped
• Four carrots sliced
• Four tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
• Tarragon, salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• Any green vegetable


Method

• Brown chicken all over in oil
• Add carrots and onions till slightly browned
• Add balsamic vinegar to bubbling
• Put in salt, pepper two sprigs of tarragon & and a little more balsamic vinegar or water if it is too dry
• Cover and cook in oven at 200C for an hour (chicken pieces) or hour and half for whole chicken
• Add more chopped tarragon to sauce and serve
