    Easy, delicious. Used panko. Set butter out early in day.

    This dish is so deceptively simple but oh so quick and delicious! I have lots of fresh tarragon in my herb garden right now so this seemed like the perfect time to try this. I used bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and just removed the skin. My husband loves chicken skin so after I placed the thighs in my LeCreuset braising pan I put the skin in along one side and spread a little of the tarragon mustard butter on them as well. They turned out nice and crispy for him and the rest of the chicken was heavenly.

    A very easy recipe that makes a tasty chicken dish that was done in just over 30 minutes. I didn't have any tarragon so I used some dill from my garden. Leftovers heated up well the next day too. Will definitely repeat.

    This was delicious! Used a whole chicken cut into 8 parts. Because the chicken stayed relatively moist I would think one could use just bone-in breasts and it would be great. The tarragon was very pronounced in the leftovers, which was fine for me, but was a bit much for my husband.

    This is tasty. I used boneless skinless breasts cooked for about 30 minutes (they were franken-breast sized) and chives since I didn't have tarragon. I adore tarragon so I really look forward to using it next time. The mustard was a tad strong for me, but I had a brand new fresh bottle. If you are suspicious of mustard just go a tad lighter.

    I thought this was absolutely delicious! When I was making it I thought there might be way too much mustard, but when cooked, it didn't taste mustardy at all. Lovely!
