 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 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.
