Chicken in a Citrus, Tarragon and Wine Sauce

Back from holiday and staring into the cupboard swearing!  Yes, I’ve got lots of ingredients but nothing that screams comfort so I decide to go off piste and came up with this dish which incidentally, as I watch MasterChef is a bit better than some of their offerings.

• Three medium chicken thighs
• 2 red onions chopped
• Half a large grapefruit
• Big pinch of tarragon
• 2 cloves of Garlic - finely chopped
• 250ml Chenin Blanc
• 15ml Clear Honey
• Potato for mashing 
• Oil for frying

1.  Fry onions and garlic before adding chicken to brown in a small pot

1. Add Chenin Blanc to the pot (until it just covers the meat)
2. Now this dish is about balance so taste, taste and taste as you add ingredients
3. Squeeze half a grapefruit into the pot and add a big pinch of tarragon
4. Then add 15ml of honey (I used Portuguese lavender clear honey)

1. Leave the pot bubbling slowly then peel the potatoes and add them to boiling water 
2. When they are done, mash the potato using butter, milk or whatever you like
3. Spoon the chicken and sauce over the mashed potato and enjoy

So very very good - slightly sweet with a hint of vino and a little citrus tartness.

Enjoy
