My daughter found this easy, delicious recipe in a magazine ages ago. The sauce alone is addictive, and can be increased proportionally to make even more, if you want.

yield 4 , but you can add chicken parts and make more sauce

Ingredients

  • 4 - chicken parts (i like legs & thighs in this recipe)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon taragon
  • - paprika

How To Make taragon chicken

  • Step 1
    Place chicken in any ungreased baking dish, and sprinkle with paprika. If you choose to add vegetables (e.g. sliced carrots, potatoes), cook them in a microwave for about 6 minutes before placing in baking dish with chicken.
  • Step 2
    In a small dish, mix olive oil, salt, lemon juice, and taragon. Mix together thoroughly, then drizzle over chicken.
  • Step 3
    Place in a 325 - 350 degree oven: ovens vary, as I discovered when I went from gas (350) to electric (325, if I wanted tender meat), and bake for about 40 minutes, or until meat thermometer registers the proper temperature for chicken.
  • Step 4
    This can be served over rice, or as it is with the added vegetables. Sometimes, I will add fresh, sliced mushrooms.
