We found this rather thin and flat. We probably prefer an all-milk version with just a tad of white wine for flavor. I used butter rather than olive oil (flavor again) and sauteed mushrooms. I even added an ounce of cream cheese to try to get something resembling a rich feel, and we topped with Asagio cheese at table, again trying to coax more flavor out. I wouldn't make it again.
Tarragon Chicken-in-a-Pot Pies
Popular in French cooking, tarragon adds anise flavor to the creamy chicken mixture. Hollowed-out rolls serve as edible, individual vessels that soak up the sauce.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2/3 cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup sliced carrot
- 1 cup (1/8-inch-thick) slices zucchini
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 (4.5-ounce) country or peasant rolls
Preparation
- Place flour in a small bowl; slowly add milk, stirring with a whisk until well blended to form a slurry. Add the broth and wine.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; add onion and chicken. Sauté 2 minutes; stir in carrot and next 4 ingredients (carrot through pepper). Cover, reduce heat, and cook 4 minutes. Stir slurry into chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer until thick (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Cut rolls horizontally 1 inch from tops. Hollow out bottoms of rolls, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells; reserve torn bread and bread tops for another use. Spoon 1 1/4 cups chicken mixture into each bread shell.
