4. Pour off any excess fat, add the wine and bring to the boil, scraping to make sure you include any of the juices from the chicken. Reduce until you're left with a couple of tablespoons of richly flavoured liquid.
5. Add the stock and the sprigs of tarragon, bring to the boil and reduce by a third.
6. Stir in the cream, bring to the boil and allow to reduce a little before removing the sprig of tarragon and adding the fresh chopped herb.
