--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  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.
