INGREDIENTS
PREPARATION
Heat 3T oil in skillet. Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper. Cook gently in oil for 5 minutes, turn chicken, season again, cook for another 5 minutes. Do not attempt to brown chicken or you will overcook it, it should be pale gold. Remove chicken from skillet and reserve.
Add onions, carrots, and garlic to oil remaining in skillet and cook, covered over low heat until vegetables are tender @ 20-25 minutes. Add broth, orange juice, tomatoes and rosemary. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Return chicken to pan and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is nearly done. Baste pieces with sauce and turn them once after 15 minutes.
