I also decreased the shallots (mine were huge) and added a cup of frozen peas with the sauce. I made these last week, using 3/4 cup of whipping cream instead of the creme fraiche.

I'm sorry to hear it didn't turn out, Alison. Did you let the vinegar reduce by half? The sauce is quite strongly flavored all right. Oh no! I’m sorry to hear it didn’t turn out, Alison.

I followed this recipe and obviously did something very wrong. The sauce was sour and way too much vinegar! I strained chicken and shallots and used a new pot of creme fraiche and tarragon but there was no saving this dish. Where did I go wrong? Oh dear!

I hope you enjoy this version. Kelly, you could usually substitute sour cream for creme fraiche, but I would worry about it curdling in this recipe. I found a board at Chowhound that said for 1 cup of creme fraiche, use 1/2 cup each of sour cream and whipping cream. Ed, that sounds like good timing then! I hope you enjoy this version.

I've already added the ingredients to my shopping list. Do you have recommendations on a crème fraîche substitute? Maybe some whipping cream or half and half? These look amazing!
