Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Roast the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, and half of the chopped tarragon. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Combine and Bake

    Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Pour in the white wine and cognac, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it reduce for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining tarragon. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven. Plate the chicken and potatoes, and drizzle with the creamy tarragon sauce before serving.
