    This sounds wonderful. Do you have an IP version?

    It sounds quite simple to do in the IP, but I’m not sure of the cooking time.

    Chicken thighs and tarragon — a match made in Heaven. I have some growing too.

    Karen, do you have a link to an Instant Pot version of this recipe please? Or can you give us some tips?
    Thank you in advance!

    I enjoy cooking very much. I found this recipe as I often randomly searching for something to make. I came across this. I am not one to try substitutions of an item but sometimes you have to. I did not have tarragon so I used basil in the same recommended amount. Of course I did not have tapioca so I substituted corn starch.

    I decided to double the sauce as I like to bathe my noodles with it. Be careful when adding lemon juice so add slowly to attain your preference un the taste of the sauce.

    All in all quite tasty. I will continue on the site in hopes of finding another or grouping of recipes to make.

    Great dish! I made this exactly as the recipe stated with the exception of adding a cup of baby carrots and a diced shallot. My wife loved it and we will do it again! Thanks

    This was so good. I only had chicken breasts so cooked for 3.5 hours on low.

    andrea, you can. but they don't turn out as well. they get dry and tough. only cook on low for 2-4 hours. Here's my post on why: http://www.lds.org/liahona/2012/06/gathering-in-a-unity-of-the-faith?lang=eng&query=young+single+adult

    Most of your chicken recipes call for thighs. Can I use skinless, boneless breasts instead?
