2 tablespoons All-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon Ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 cup Chopped carrot
1 cup Chopped onion
1 cup Chopped celery
6 cloves Garlic, minced

1/4 cup Chicken broth
1 teaspoon Finely shredded lemon peel

Preparation

1. Remove skin from chicken. Place flour, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, a few pieces at time, shaking to coat. In a 10-inch skillet, brown chicken, half at a time, in hot oil over medium heat about 10 minutes or until golden, turning once. Set aside.

3. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high-heat setting for 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
