Creamy Tarragon Chicken Salad

This is a really easy, quick recipe that is perfect for summer.  It requires no heating up of your kitchen by cooking and would be easy to take along for a picnic.  We ate it with some whole-grain crackers but it would be equally delicious on croissants, crusty rolls, pita bread, or wrapped in lettuce.  I served it with steamed sugar snap peas (I will figure out how to attach a link to that recipe soon - still trying to figure out this whole blogging thing!)
