To me, tender roasted chicken in a creamy sauce is the most irresistible way to enjoy this meat, particularly when it’s infused with plenty of aromatic herbs. In this recipe, I roast the chicken breast in stock with shallots and garlic for maximum flavour, then stir in an entire cup of crème fraiche to elevate it into a dish that’s both luscious and comforting. Excellent for a long, leisurely lunch served alongside a crisp rocket salad.
