Directions
1Place chicken thighs and flour into a clean plastic freezer bag and secure tightly (leaving air in bag) and shake to flour chicken pieces.

3Sear floured chicken in butter until sealed and slightly browned. I did this in my searing slow cooker, or you can do it on the stove top. Transfer sealed chicken to slow cooker.

10Mix cornflour with 2 tsp water to form smooth liquid.
11Return searing slow cooker to hotplate (or transfer sauce to saucepan on stove) and add cream.
12Add cornflour mix and stir over heat for approx 5mins until nice thick sauce consistency is achieved.

It’s a special type of cream that resists splitting when cooked on heat.
It’s beside the regular thickened cream in my supermarket 🙂

This is so good. Now on my meal planner! Even young grandchildren loved it. Total silence whilst they ate – means they throughly enjoyed it.

According to a quick Google search:
Just use your choice of the following herbs in an amount equal to that which is called for in your recipe:
Marjoram.
Oregano.
Rosemary.
Dill.
Basil.
To substitute dried tarragon with fennel seed or anise seed, use one pinch for each teaspoon of tarragon the recipes specifies.
