Heat skillet over medium heat adn add vinegar and orange wedges.  Cook, stirring adn scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until orange begins to soften, about 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in butter.  To serve, return chicken to skillet and toss iwth orange sauce.

Rachel's Thoughts: Titus made this with brown basmati rice.  And used more than 1 orange, so good!
