## Why It Fits

A creamy French-bistro dinner that feels indulgent but isn't especially heavy; crème fraîche is lighter than double cream and gives the sauce a gentle tang.

- 2 shallots, sliced
- 100ml dry white wine
- 150ml chicken stock
- 3 tbsp crème fraîche
- 2 tsp dried tarragon
- Butter, olive oil, salt, pepper

## Steps

1. Season and brown chicken thighs skin-side down 5 min; flip 5 min; remove.
2. Sauté shallots until soft; add wine; reduce 2 min.
3. Add stock and tarragon; return chicken; simmer 15 min.
4. Stir in crème fraîche; heat through; season.
5. Serve with mashed potato or green beans.
