Orange & Ginger Chicken Casserole

Dinner inspiration can be difficult at times, I get bored easily and need variation taste bud wise.
In comes Fay to rescue the day... I picked up 'Fay's Family food' last year (via Amazon) on hearing that it's chock full of easy & simple recipes. I'm not a fan of the pretentious malarky with gazillion ingredients, I just want healthy and delicious if you know what i mean. Well I haven't been let down yet, tonight i checked out the Orange and Ginger chicken casserole.

Feeds 3 hungry big people

Ingredients
For the marinade:
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp finely grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, crushed
zest of 1 orange
3 table spoons olive oil

6 Organic chicken thighs, skin off
1 large onion, chopped
3 large carrots, roughly chopped
150ml chicken stock
juice of 2 oranges
1/2 table spoon olive oil

What you need to do:

1. mix all of the ingredients in a bowl & toss the chicken into it. Cover & leave for 30 minutes - longer is good.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 180 C (fan), 200 C, gas mark 6, then transfer the chicken and marinade into a hot, non-stick frying pan & seal on both sides, which will only take a few minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in the oil, fry the onion and carrot in a separate, ovenproof casserole dish on the hob, until soft, about 10 minutes.
4. Combine everything by putting the browned chicken, stock and orange juice into the casserole for 45-60 minutes: when the chicken is pierced, the juice should run clear.
