Chicken in Orange Viognier Sauce

Ingredients:

 3-4 Chicken Breasts

3 Tbsp Butter

Oregano

Alpine Touch (salt & pepper)

Tarragon

1 Zucchini

1 Lg Orange

3/4 Cup Viognier (White Wine)

Directions:

In a large frying pan, over medium heat, melt 2 Tbsp of the butter.  Season the chicken to taste (I used about 2 tsp of each spice) and add tot he pan.  Cook until golden brown on each size about 8-10 minutes.  Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover or stick int he microwave to keep warm.  Melt the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter in the pan and add the skinned and sliced zucchini to the pan.  Saute' until golden brown (about 1-3 minutes).  Add the wine 2 Tbsp of grated orange zest and 1/4 cup of juice from the orange.  If you want more flavor feel free to add a dash of the oregano and tarragon to the sauce.  Cook, stirring to scrape up and browned bits on the bottom of the pan until the sauce is bubbly and slightly reduced (about 3-5 minutes).  Return the chicken to the pan along with any juices remaining on the plate and heat throughout.  Serve by spooning sauce and zucchinis over the chicken and enjoy.
