Aromatic Chicken

Orange zest is the colored skin removed from the bitter white part of the orange.  Use a sharp knife or peeler for this.  Melt butter and sauté the chicken, browning on both sides.  Add the rest of the ingredients and cover the pan.  Simmer gently for 30 minutes.  Remove garlic cloves and strips of orange.  Serve over boiled rice.  Garnish with whole orange sections and sprigs of fresh lavender.
