PERSIAN CHICKEN BREASTS
Years ago, when I cooked for a caterer, we catered an affair for Frank Purdue (of chicken fame!) at the Boston Aquarium. This was what he chose as one of the dishes featuring his chicken. I fell in love with it!

Steps:
- Cut chicken into 1" cubes.

- Peel the oranges, remove as much of the white pith as possible, divide into sections.
- Put orange sections, salt, pepper and turmeric in a saucepan.
- Saute onions in 1 T. butter until browned (about 10 minutes).
- Add orange peel to onions, cook, stirring, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add onion mixture to saucepan with orange sections.

- Remove chicken from marinade, saute in remaining butter until browned.
- To serve: place chicken pieces on plate and spoon orange mixture on top.
