Very simple to prepare and delicious!! The chicken thighs do add a lot of taste. I thought about using boneless breast but that would definately not have been as moist and tasty. All of the veggies taste fresh a crisp. Wonderful with some crusty bread! I left the tarragon out - don't like it too much! Try this! You'll love it! I actually tripled the recipie and the leftovers taste even better the next day!
