Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Cut 7 fine slices from the middle of 1 lemon and juice the remainder along with the other lemon and set aside. Insert 1 slice of lemon under the skin of each chicken breast along with a sprig of tarragon and put in a roasting tin. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle over the salt and ground pepper. Roast for 35 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm. Put the roasting tin over a low heat on the hob and add the lemon juice. Stir with a wooden spatula, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the tin. Add the soya cream and stir well to heat the mixture through.
- Return the chicken to the tin and spoon over the sauce. Garnish with the remaining tarragon and lemon slices, and serve.
