Title: Chicken Portabella
Categories: Poultry Main
Yield: 4 Servings

16	oz	Chicken thighs or breast; skinned and deboned
2	tb	Olive oil
1		Shallot; finely chopped
2		Cloves garlic; finely chop'd
1/2		Green bell pepper; finely chopped
1	tb	Lemon juice
6	oz	Portobella mushrooms; cut into 1" chunks
1/4	c	Chicken stock
1/4	c	Wine
1	tb	Tarragon; fresh chopped
1	tb	Lovage; fresh chopped
		Salt & pepper to taste
1	tb	Arrowroot dissolved in wine

Preheat oven to 375F.

Divide chicken into 4 equal portions. Lightly salt and sear on both sides in an oven proofed saut pan. Remove from pan and set aside.

Saut mushrooms lightly for 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add shallots and garlic and saut for 1 minute. Add green pepper and saut for 1-2 minutes. Deglaze pan by adding 1/4 c red, white or ros wine (I personally prefer a ros with chicken). Allow to reduce by 1/2... add chicken stock and herbs. Return chicken to pan and place in oven. After 10 minutes add portabella mushrooms on top. Cook another 5-10 minutes or until done.

Remove chicken to serving platter or plates leaving mushrooms behind. Add arrowroot dissolved in wine to thicken sauce. Add salt & pepper to taste. Spoon over chicken and serve.
