Fry some chopped onion in butter and oil add some button mushroom then add chicken thighs add a spoonful of french mustard throw in a good slug of white wine simmer until cooked added chopped parsley and then a good dollop of double cream stir and serve... We have this once a week in our house (but we also add garlic)

I have been serving this for years so it may sound a bit out of date but it always goes down well with all who try it.

Tasty Chicken (serves 4)

Stir well and serve with your favourite potatoes and vegetables.I often add a bit more milkwater as we love the sauce. When cooled, can also be used as a pie filling with the sauce served separately.

Chicken in a pan

Heat a pan with some oil, chuck in a handful of juniper berries.
Toss chicken breasts in flour.
Put in pan and brown.
Add chicken stock and dry white wine
Reduce
Stir in creme fraiche and tarragon, cook til sauce flavours - don't overcook else creme fraiche will split. Serve with lemon scented cous cous.

Alternatively:-

Split breasts open and roll till flat
Stuff with herbed cheese (although you say no garlic, garlic and herb boursin works well and doesn't give a "garlicky" flavour. Peppered boursin alson works).
Stretch several rashers of streaky smoked bacon with the back of a heavy bladed knife.
Wrap the stuffed chicken in bacon rashers so you have a nice firm parcel.
Stick in an oven proof dish. Season well.
Pour over some white wine.
Cook for 35 ish minutes at 180 or until chicken is cooked.
remove from oven
Put chicken on a plate and keep warm
Pour cooking liquid into a saucepan with the other half of the soft cheese.
Stir soft cheese into cooking liquid.
Boil up and reduce.
Season.
Add fresh tarragon.
Thicken.
Serve.
