| 4 | Chicken breast halves |
| 2 | Unsalted butter |
| 1/4 | Margarine |
| 1 1/2 | Onion |
| 1/2 | Tarragon |

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Start by skinning and boning the chicken breast halves.
-
-
Sauté the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the chicken breast halves to the skillet.
- Sauté the chicken in the butter until it turns golden brown and is cooked through, which should take about 8 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer it to a platter. Cover the platter with foil to keep the chicken warm.
-
Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet used for cooking the chicken, add the margarine.
- Sauté the onion in the margarine until it becomes tender, being careful not to let it brown.
- Add the orange juice concentrate, tarragon, pepper, and salt to the skillet with the onions. Stir to combine the ingredients.
-
Thicken the Sauce:
- Pour in the can of evaporated milk into the skillet with the onion mixture.
- Cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly. This should take a few minutes.
-
Assemble and Serve:
- Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, spoon it generously over the cooked chicken breast halves.
- Garnish the dish with sprigs of fresh tarragon and slices of lemon. For an extra touch, cut the lemon slices halfway through and twist them over the top of the chicken for a decorative finish.
-
Enjoy!
- Serve the Poor Man’s Duck a L’Orange immediately while it’s still warm. This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal that’s sure to impress!
