1. Prepping the Sauce
Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-assisted or gas mark 6). Create the Flavor Base: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the crème fraîche, grainy mustard, crushed garlic, and chicken stock. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
2. Assembling the Dish
Arrange for Roasting: Take a roasting tray that can accommodate the chicken and vegetables snugly. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up in the tray. Vegetable Tuck-In: Nestle the baby potatoes and green beans in between the chicken pieces, ensuring even distribution.
3. Cooking the Chicken
Adding the Final Touches: Pour the previously prepared sauce mixture over the assembled chicken and vegetables. Gently season the chicken once more and then drizzle the honey on top. Roast to Perfection: Place the tray in the preheated oven and let it cook for 40 to 45 minutes. The chicken should be thoroughly cooked with a lovely golden glaze, and the potatoes should be soft and tender.
4. Finishing with Herbs
Tarragon Sprinkle: Once the chicken is done, take the tray out of the oven and immediately scatter the chopped tarragon over the dish for a fresh, aromatic finish.
Substitute the chicken with pork chops and use maple syrup in place of honey. Swap out tarragon for rosemary and proceed with the same cooking method.
Replace chicken with turkey cutlets and use thyme instead of tarragon. The baking method would give you a similar crispy exterior.
For a vegetarian twist, use firm tofu slices and replace tarragon with basil. Pan-fry the tofu for a crispy result.
Swap chicken for salmon fillets, use agave syrup, and dill instead of tarragon. The air-frying technique will ensure a crispy finish.
Add the zest of an orange or lemon to the honey-mustard mixture before baking. This will infuse a fresh citrus note into the chicken, which pairs beautifully with the tarragon.
