Step by step recipe

1	Cut 3 chicken breasts into medium-sized pieces.
2	Prepare and chop 1 shallot. Using the blade of a flat-bed knife, crush 1 garlic clove.
3	Cut 800 g cooked potatoes into pieces and season with a little salt.
4	Pour a small amount of oil into a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, and when hot, pour in the potatoes.
5	Lower the heat a little and roast gently, stirring when the bottom of the potatoes is nicely colored.
6	Remove to a plate when the potatoes are roasted to your liking, and keep warm.
7	In a non-stick pan (if possible) over high heat, pour 3 tablespoons of oil and, when hot, add the chicken pieces.
8	Season with salt and pepper and brown, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate.
9	Lower the heat under the pan and add 20 g butter, then the shallot and garlic, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
10	Pour in 100 ml Jura white wine and deglaze the bottom of the pan.
11	Reduce by about half.
12	Add 200 g cancoillotte, stirring a little to melt it. Check seasoning.
13	Pour in the chicken pieces, stir again and leave for a few minutes, just long enough for the chicken to warm up and soak up the cancoillotte sauce. At the last minute, add a little chopped tarragon.
14	Serve immediately, with a bed of potatoes and the chicken poured on top, garnished if possible with a sprig of tarragon.

Remarks

This recipe can also be served with pasta, rice or other vegetables instead of potatoes.
The quantities of white wine and cancoillotte can be adapted to your taste.
If you don't have fillets, but chicken pieces (thighs, wings, etc.), color them in the same way as the fillets in step 8, then put them in the oven for around 20 minutes to continue cooking.
