8. Pour into thermoserver, remove orange zest and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes to thicken.

Notes:
I converted this recipe from a Healthy Food Guide magazine, with just a couple of tweaks.
My chicken broke up a little bit in the saute process, but it was still in decent chunks at the end of cooking so I was happy with that.
My orange zest also broke up a bit so I had to fish around in the thermoserver after cooking. It might be alright just grated finely and left in the stew. I will probably try that next time.
