ROAST CHICKEN WITH FENNEL



Roast Chicken With Fennel image

The kind of fennel we see in supermarkets (which, almost needless to say, is cultivated, not wild) is wonderful when cooked to full tenderness, so I thought it might make a good base for chicken, which is heavier than fish and takes longer to cook. The idea was that the fennel would lend its flavor to the chicken, the chicken would lend its juices to the fennel and the creation would need little else. The results were better than expected. Garnished with parsley and served with a bit of lemon (especially when caramelized, fennel can be quite sweet), the dish has an elegant look and delicious, surprisingly complex flavor.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, or as needed
2 bulbs fennel, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole (about 3-pound) chicken, cut up, or about 3 pounds drumsticks and thighs
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle bottom of shallow roasting pan or baking sheet with about half the olive oil and cover it with a layer of the fennel. Overlap pieces if necessary but use whole pan. Drizzle remaining oil over fennel and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut up chicken if necessary and sprinkle the pieces with salt and pepper.
  • Top fennel with the chicken parts, skin side up. Ideally, you'll have a layer of fennel pretty much covered by a layer of chicken, but it's fine if some of the fennel roasts uncovered. Spoon some of the oil from bottom of pan over chicken. If there is not enough, drizzle additional olive oil over the chicken. Roast about 15 minutes, then baste chicken with pan drippings and rotate the pan. If necessary, adjust oven temperature so chicken browns but does not burn.
  • The chicken will be done in about 30 minutes. Serve each piece with some fennel and a little of the pan juices spooned over, garnished with parsley and a lemon wedge.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND HERBS



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Artichokes and Herbs image

This weeknight sheet-pan dinner takes inspiration from porchetta, the classic Italian pork roast that's scented with fennel and herbs. Here, a fragrant spice rub of ground fennel, garlic, rosemary and sage is placed onto chicken thighs, instantly elevating plain chicken with minimal effort. Canned artichokes are a versatile and time-saving pantry staple, commonly tossed into salads but here, they are fantastic roasted. The juicy chicken thighs create a bright pan sauce mixed with briny olives and lemon juice. Leftovers can be chopped and tossed with mayonnaise for a fantastic chicken salad the next day.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large fennel bulbs (about 3 pounds), trimmed, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
2 (14-ounce) cans whole artichoke hearts in water, drained and halved lengthwise
8 ounces cherry tomatoes
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons ground fennel
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
1/2 cup pitted green olives, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine fennel wedges, artichokes, tomatoes and 3 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat. Spread in an even layer.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, ground fennel, rosemary, sage and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper, then rub with spice mixture. Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables skin-side up.
  • Roast until vegetables are tender and chicken is golden and crisp and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Divide chicken and vegetables among plates. Pour pan juices into a small bowl, let settle and then skim off the fat with a spoon. Stir in olives, lemon juice and red-pepper flakes (if using). Spoon sauce over chicken and vegetables. Serve warm.

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOMS, FENNEL AND LEEKS



Chicken with Creamy Mushrooms, Fennel and Leeks image

This chicken is anything but bland, because the seasonings are literally pounded into the meat. The springtime vegetables are perfectly softened so they melt into a creamy luscious sauce.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large leeks, white and light green parts only
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed and sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Slice the leeks in half, then thinly slice them into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons. Place the leeks in a colander set over a bowl and fill the bowl with enough water to cover the leeks. Gently stir them around to help remove any excess dirt and sand. Remove the colander with the leeks from the bowl, leaving behind any dirt. Let leeks drain completely.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a sheet of parchment paper. Season the chicken breasts with salt, a pinch red pepper flakes, and half the thyme leaves. Place another piece of parchment on top of the chicken. Use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts slightly until they are an even thickness, about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Hold both pieces of parchment paper and flip the chicken over; now the parchment that was originally on the bottom should be on top. Remove the parchment, exposing the unseasoned side of chicken. Season with salt, another pinch red pepper flakes, and the remaining thyme leaves. Place the parchment back on top and pound slightly to adhere the seasoning.
  • Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add in the chicken breasts and cook, undisturbed, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown and reaches 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the fennel, mushrooms, and leeks to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Season the vegetables with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Deglaze with the white wine and cook until the wine is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Turn the heat down to low and add in the cream. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cream has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the sauce to taste.
  • To serve, spoon the creamy vegetables over the chicken. Garnish with thyme leaves.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for fennel and artichoke, but you can also use other vegetables such as carrots, celery, potatoes, or green beans.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables to the pan, they will not cook evenly. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Season the vegetables well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good seasonings for this dish. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the fricassee over rice or pasta. This dish is also good served with a side of bread or salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken, fennel, and artichoke fricassee is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. This dish is also a good way to use up leftover chicken. With its tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and creamy sauce, this fricassee is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
