- Set aside on paper towel/plate until all are finished.
- After draining on towles, place in liner of cooker.
- Then, first add the carrots to the oil in the pan over med-high heat, saute until they begin to brown slightly
- Then add the onion; saute for about 10 min or until they gave softened and are hust beginning to brown
- Add the garlic, saute until just becoming fragrant, maybe 30 seconds. Do NOT brown the garlic!
- Add the seasoning package, and stir it in
- Add 3 tbs flour, stir until it begins to turn golden. Do not brown it.
- Gradually add the wine, and stir it in for a few minutes, being sure to scrape up any bits on the bottom
- Then add the stock and stir over heat, until the sauce begins to thicken and coats the back of the spoon.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and place 4 sprigs of tarragon on top
- Cover and cook on low for 4-7 hours. Test for tenderness
- When done and nearly ready to serve, remove leaves from the remaining 2-3 stems of tarragon, chop coarsley
- Remove and discard the sprigs of tarragon on top; stir in the chopped tarragon and the cream, adjust seasoning.
- Turn cooker to high and stirr occasionally for 10-15 minutes to warm the cream ( bring to room temp before adding)
- I like to serve it over rice, but pasta would be good, too.
