  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Season chicken with thyme, oregano, salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.

  4. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in ZICO Chilled Orange Juice Blend, chicken stock, maple syrup, honey and rosemary; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  5. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet.
  6. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
