Chicken with Fennel, Carrots and Orange

Adapted From: The America's Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook, p. 255.

Results
I wasn't a fan of the oranges in the meal, but I thought the rest of the flavors worked pretty well together. I'll definitely do this one again, but next time with no oranges.
