Creamy Chicken and Tarragon Hotpot
Tarragon, a versatile herb with a light aniseed and vanilla flavour, works brilliantly in this chicken hotpot! Using light spreadable cheese in the sauce instead of cream means the calories are reduced, too.

Hints & Tips
Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.
Cool within 2 hours of cooking (minus the tarragon garnish), then divide the cooked recipe into individual servings and freeze immediately
Use chicken thighs or Quorn alternative instead of chicken breast, or for a totally vegetable filling, bulk it out with extra veg (e.g. butternut squash) instead of using chicken.

Could I use a filo pastry top instead of potatoes
HollyMonday 13th February 2023
Hey Suzanne, yes you could swap the mashed potato for scrunched up filo pastry instead and adjust the nutritional information accordingly, hope that helps!

Hi! I much prefer chicken breast since its lower calorie and less fatty, how would I substitute it?
SharonTuesday 18th October 2022
Hi Cheyanne, Creamy Tarragon Hot Pot is a recipe that’s written using chicken breast so just follow the recipe as it’s written. Enjoy the recipe!

How do you reheat this once frozen and defrosted?
SharonTuesday 18th October 2022
Hi Rosie, once thoroughly defrosted, microwave until piping hot throughout. You can find full details for freezing and reheating food on pages 12 and 13 of our Quick & Easy book.

Hey Barbara, the onion and garlic is added in the first step of the recipe just after browning the chicken. Hope that helps!
