Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 large fennel bulb, preparation instructions below
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
9 ounces small red potatoes, cut into chunks
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
2/3 cup fat free chicken broth or 2/3 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 halves roasted red peppers, cut into large (1/2 inch)

Steps:

  • Trim the green tops off the fennel and reserve. Halve, then quarter the fennel, cut out the core, then cut lengthways into slices.
  • Prepare the chicken for cooking by seasoning with salt, pepper, paprika and crushed fennel seed.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet, add the chicken, then fry quickly until lightly opaque and browned for about 2 minutes. (Note the chicken will not be cooked through.) Add the fennel, onions and garlic, then stir briefly until the fennel has a bit of color - as much from cooking as from taking on the spices from the chicken bites.
  • Add in the potatoes, diced roasted tomatoes, broth and a tomato paste, and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 15 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender to the fork but not breaking apart.
  • Stir in the roasted peppers and heat through.
  • Roughly chop the reserved fennel fronds, about 1 tablespoon or so, then sprinkle over the ragout. Serve in shallow bowls or plates with high lips along with crusty bread for mopping up the juices.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts for maximum flavor and moisture.
  • Brown the Chicken Well: Searing the chicken in a hot skillet creates a flavorful crust and helps lock in the juices.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Fennel, tomatoes, and onions provide a colorful and flavorful base for the ragout. You can also add other vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the herbs and spices. A combination of thyme, rosemary, garlic, and paprika adds depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Simmer Gently: Bring the ragout to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. This allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through without overcooking.
  • Serve with a Side: Chicken fennel tomato ragout pairs well with a variety of sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
