Remove the mushroom mix from the pan with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl.
Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper and season all over with the salt and pepper.
Add the remaining butter to the pan and place the chicken in, skin side down.
Cook for about 10 minutes until the skin is really crisp and golden then turn over and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Add the flour to the pan and use a wooden spoon to stir into the buttery juices for 1 minute.
Pour in the wine and cook for a minute then stir in the stock and tarragon.

Return the mushroom mixture to the pan and stir the sauce well to combine.
