Tunisian Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 red onion, finely sliced
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    1 teaspoon coriander seed
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    6 cardamom pods, crushed with seeds removed
    1 1/4 cups chicken broth
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 (14 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
    2 pieces orange peel
    2/3 cup orange juice
    salt & freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
    Preheat a non-stick frying pan. Dry fry the onion for 2-3 minutes until soft.
    Add the chicken and garlic and cook briskly, turning the chicken regularly to seal on all sides.
    Add the spices with 2-3 tbs of broth and sprinkle the flour over. Mix well, 'cooking out' the flour for 1 minute.
    Gradually mix in the remaining broth. Add the oregano, tomatoes, orange peel and juice.
    Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
    Season to taste and serve.
