Spread half the tarragon as evenly as possible under the skin. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the chicken fillets all around for about 12 minutes

    In the meantime peel and finely dice the shallots. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a pot. Sauté half of the shallots for about 10 minutes. After about 4 minutes add peas and stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper
