Ingredients:
1
tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil

1
pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

3
small onions, each cut into 6 wedges

2
cloves garlic, minced

1
tablespoon all-purpose flour

1
cup chicken broth

3/4
cup dry white wine

1/4

4
ounces small mushrooms

2
(3X1-inch) strips orange peel

1/2
teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1/2
teaspoon dried tarragon leaves

3
cups cooked noodles or rice



Preparation:
1.
Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken, onions and garlic; cook 5 minutes or until chicken is browned. Stir in flour; cook over medium heat 1 minute, stirring constantly.

2.
Stir in chicken broth, wine, tomato paste, whole mushrooms, orange peel, thyme and tarragon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, 10 minutes or until chicken is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over noodles.


Kitchen How-To: To remove 3X1-inch strips of orange peel, use a vegetable peeler. Be careful to remove the colored portion of the skin only; the white pith has a bitter taste.
