Hairy Bikers' chicken and tarragon pie

The Hairy Bikers are known for their delicious, filling pies and this chicken and tarragon version is no exception. This hearty and flavoursome chicken and tarragon pie combines a whole cooked chicken, white wine, garlic, creme fraiche, and onions and is topped with crispy filo pastry and tarragon. Tarragon is an interesting spring herb, as it has a very unique and pungent flavour – which is similar to liquorice and aniseed, with a hint of vanilla as well. The Hairy Bikers suggest using shop-bought, but if you have time you could make your own filo pastry .   The post Hairy Bikers' chicken and tarragon pie appeared first on GoodtoKnow . from Recipes – GoodtoKnow https://ift.tt/2PquoqW via IFTTT
