Based on the other review, I cut the veggies smaller and roasted them first for a bit before I added the chicken. I also marinated the chicken with the Harissa (Trader Joe's has the paste) for about an hour but probably needed longer. The Parsely/Orange mixture is a must and finishes this dish with a nice flavor. Overall, it was a nice subtle taste - I probably would've added a it more salt as I would've preferred a more flavorful and more Harissa to the chicken.

It was good,but carrots were still kind of raw, even after an hour of baking

It was easy enough. Like another poster did, I cut the veggies smaller for faster cooking and I marinated the chicken for an hour in harissa (I added lemon and vinegar to the marinade). I think some sweet (honey) might help this dish. All in all, I have no complaints.

The flavors of this dish was great, plus the addition of the orange gave a pop. I used sweet potatoes but still was a great meal.
