Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a large saucepan. Pour over the champagne or sparkling wine and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer gently for - minutes, until the chicken breasts are thoroughly cooked. If using pink champagne this will give your chicken a pink hue.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the mushrooms for minutes, turning occasionally, until golden.
Strain the chicken breasts, reserving the liquor, and keep warm. Add the reserved liquor to the mushrooms and simmer for minutes. Reduce the heat and stir in the cream and tarragon. Simmer gently for minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season to taste.
To serve, halve the chicken breasts and pour over the mushroom sauce. Serve with baby courgettes and roasted new potatoes.
