I wanted to follow a recipe in one of my Mediterranean cookbooks. But everything fell to the wayside when I realized I didn't have lemons and the roads were snow packed and slick and I was afraid to travel to get lemons. I had to punt. I had Oranges...then I started thinking about those wonderful mushrooms in the pantry that were begging to be used. One thing led to another and I created a masterpiece. Chicken is a very forgiving kind of meat. It absorbs almost any herb or sauce you present it with. This one is a keeper.

How to Make Orange Garlic Chicken

Step-by-Step

Boil the stock and the garlic cloves for 20 minutes. Strain the garlic from the cloves. Keep the garlic cloves. They will go back into the dish in step 3.
Remove the skin and pith from the orange. Slice into thin slices
Remove the browned chicken from the frying pan to an oven-safe dish. Top with garlic and oranges.
Heat the chicken drippings to high...add wine, reserved stock, mushrooms. Heat to a desired gravy-like consistency. Pour over the top of the chicken.
Bake at 375 for 45 minutes....Serve over rice or potatoes.
