Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • For the celeriac mash:
  • 14 oz peeled celery root, chopped small
  • 1.8 oz sour cream
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 TB unsalted butter
  • For the creamy tarragon chicken
  • 2 chicken breasts, skinless and deboned (we use Wild Pastures meat)
  • 1 tsp olive oil, plus extra to brush the chicken
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed with a garlic press
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Handful fresh tarragon leaves, finely chopped (plus extra to garnish)
  • 3.5 oz heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brush over a little olive oil. Bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes until safely cooked through. Remove and leave to rest before serving.
  • In the meantime, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the celery root chunks. Cook until completely softened, then drain in a colander. Return the celery root to the pan and add the sour cream, salt and pepper. Mash well, then add the butter to melt in.
  • Just before serving, make a quick sauce. Gently fry the garlic gently in a teaspoon of olive oil over low heat, then add the lemon juice and tarragon. Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the cream. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about a minute to warm through and thicken a little.
  • Serve the chicken with the sauce and scatter over more tarragon. The celery root mash is a great side dish to mop up all the sauce!
