6 chicken fillets
3 slices of bacon sliced
1 tbsp fresh butter

1 orange sliced
1 cup vegetable broth
1 bay leaf
a pinch of thyme, crumbled
2 carrots sliced
½ kg small-sized onions
4 medium-sized potatoes, cut into large cubes

Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 180°C

2. Add the vegetables to the skillet and sauté them (onions, potatoes, carrots) using the juices of the bacon and chicken fillets. As soon as they are ready, transfer them to the pan as well.
3. Add the orange juice, bay leaf, vegetable broth, thyme, salt and pepper to the skillet and allow them to boil. Pour over the chicken fillets as soon as ready.
4. Place the baking pan in the oven and cook over medium heat for about 25-30 minutes. If needed add some water, but make sure that the sauce is thick when ready.
