Ingredients

2 lbs chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
3 medium shallots, minced
2 tablespoons dried greek oregano, chopped, not ground
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 teaspoons garlic pepper seasoning
4 ounces lemon juice
2 teaspoons arrowroot

Directions

1

Saute the chicken pieces in the butter and olive oil until golden.
2

Add minced garlic and shallots.
3

Add 1 cup chicken broth, oregano, lemon juice, lemon zest and garlic pepper.
4

Stir, and as liquid is reduced, ballast with additional broth to prevent drying out. You may use the whole can--you should keep a good balance of liquid to the chicken pieces to form a sauce.
5

Add arrowroot to a bit (about one tablespoon) of the broth, mix until dissolved and stir into the saute.
6

Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and a glaze is formed.

Remove from the stove and serve over basmati rice.
