Creamy Tarragon Chicken with Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

Описание: Creamy Tarragon Chicken with Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

I first got the inspiration for this dish from a @RachaelRay 30-Minute Meals episode years and years ago, and I always come back to it! I’ve tweaked it over the years; sometimes I add mushrooms, sometimes spinach or kale. Either way, it’s always delicious and a perfect quick and easy weeknight meal.

The mashed potatoes are my go-to recipe, and the perfect way to use up that random block of cheese hiding in your fridge.
