Chicken with chirozo and a tomato tarragon and basil sauce

The wife gave this one top marks even saying it was one of the best meals I've made her.  Not bad for something I just rustled up on the spot. I used smoked paprika in the sauce with a little gastric to give it the sweet and sour tinge. The tarragon really helps the flavour and I used cherry tomatoes to add to the sweetness.
