Chicken Manhattan

INGREDIENTS
2    tablespoons olive oil
1    pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut to 2 inches
1    cup low sodium chicken broth
½   cup sweet vermouth
¼   teaspoon Angostura bitters
½   teaspoon orange extract or Curacao
½   cup bourbon whiskey
1    teaspoon all-purpose flour

METHOD
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and, when warm, add the chicken. Stir the chicken pieces until they are browned on all sides and add the broth, vermouth, bitters and orange extract. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes to thoroughly cook the chicken.

Remove the cover and pour in the bourbon whiskey, stirring. If working over an open flame, be very careful as the pan could flame, also. Cook for 2 minutes, remove the chicken and whisk in slowly the teaspoon of flour. Cook the sauce, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens. Add the chicken back to the pan, stir to coat and serve immediately. If you have them, serve with Maraschino cherries.
