3 tablespoons flour
4 teaspoons Roasted Ground Coriander
1/2 teaspoon Thyme Leaves
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, Coarse Grind
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
4 slices thick-cut bacon

Bring to boil. Return chicken to pot. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are just tender. Add zucchini and orange juice. Return to boil. Cover and simmer 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and zucchini is tender. Sprinkle with bacon before serving.
