METHOD
- 1Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

- 3Generously salt and pepper the meat on both sides.
- 4Heat oil in a casserole dish over high heat and sear the meat for 4 minutes until golden brown on the skin side. Then flip it and sear for 1 minute until golden brown. Remove the meat, set aside, and reduce the heat to less than half.
- 5Add zucchini and carrots to the casserole, mix, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add the onion, mix, and cook for 1 minute.

- 7In a saucepan over medium heat, dry-roast the spice blend for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
- 8Pour orange juice and broth into the spices, add honey and orange zest, and mix. Bring to a boil and pour into the casserole with the chicken.
- 9Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley before serving.
