Remove the mushrooms from the chicken using a slotted spoon and set a few aside for garnishing.

Add the mushrooms, tarragon and seasoning to the sauce and mix well. Reheat gently, stirring.

Serve the chicken breasts with the white wine and mushrooms sauce and the reserved mushrooms scattered over. Garnish with fresh tarragon sprigs and serve with vegtables of your choice.
