Add fresh tarragon right at the end. This preserves the aromatic flavor better and prevents the herb from tasting cooked and flat.

Tarragon has a light anise like aroma that pairs especially well with chicken, cream and white wine. When the chicken finishes cooking in the sauce, the meat absorbs flavor while the sauce becomes richer. The result is an easy dish with a clear French feel.
