Orange and Garlic Chicken With Linguini

Heated some olive oil. Browned pieces of chicken (one whole chicken cut into eight pieces) on both sides in a frying pan. Added the juice of an orange, a bit of cider vinegar and enough water to come up half way. Poached for 10 minutes. Turned chicken and added one huge chopped clove of Russian garlic. Poached for another 10 minutes. Removed chicken and reduced sauce.

Boiled salted water. Added wholemeal linguini. When cooked, added linguini to the fry pan. Stirred the sauce and seasoned. Added chicken and heated through and served.

Figman loved the linguini – his talking to at the corporate commandos included a plug for whole grains, believe it or not.
