Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the chicken on a baking tray. Drizzle over a little oil and the honey. Zest the oranges directly on top. Season. Sprinkle the nuts alongside the chicken on the same tray. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the nuts are golden brown. Cool, then slice the chicken.

Step 2

While the chicken is in the oven, remove the white part from two of the oranges and slice into 1cm-thick discs. Peel the carrots and slice into ribbons with a peeler. Repeat with the courgettes but discarding the watery centre.
