Tarragon Chicken
Tarragon and chicken goes really nicely together. This is a super simple and delicious way to make chicken for dinner or for using in a salad. I got this recipe from myrecipes.com, with cracked black pepper as the only addition to the recipe.

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

Method:
