I tried this & it was very tasty. However the 2nd time I tweaked it a bit. The cinnamon was too strong the first time, so I reduced it to half the suggested amount, I didn’t use the fennel seeds or the orange; but I did add pepper flakes.

Also, I cooked the chicken and veggies separately so I could weigh and measure everything more accurately. Instead of shredding the carrots I cubed them. Fo more veggies I boiled some cabbage and added chives, made a nice lunch. :)
