¹⁄₂ cup raspberry vinegar
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons minced chives

directions

Grate zest from orange, then juice it. If you get less than 1/2 cup of juice add more orange juice or water to make 1/2 cup. Set zest and juice aside.

Salt and pepper chicken. Dredge in flour and shake off excess.
Add chicken pieces to hot skillet and cook until lightly brown on all sides and juices run clear. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Pour off the oil from skillet and add the butter.
When butter is melted add 1 1/2 tablespoons flour; stir until lumps disappear and flour turns golden brown.
Add the vinegar, chicken broth, and orange juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens slightly.
Reduce heat to medium low. Return chicken to pan and simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes.
Stir in chives, dill, and grated orange zest. Simmer 5 more minutes.
Serve on a bed of rice with the sauce on the side.

I'm a software engineer living in Wilmington, Delaware. I'm originally from the South (north Florida), so I was raised on good old Southern cooking. I started cooking when I was 7 and have always loved to experiment and put my own twist on the dishes I make. While traveling and living in different places I've discovered a number of wonderful cuisines - Cuban, Thai, Greek, Indonesian, Indian, et al. I have a few dishes from each cuisine that I do really well. I love to experiment with recipes. One of my favorite things to do is figure out how a dish I like is made. If I have something at a restaurant that I really like I'll experiment at home until I come up with a creditable equivalent. It's great to be a member of this community. Where else could you find recipes from people living in every corner of the world? I love it! All of the recipes I've posted here are original unless stated otherwise in the description.
