Ingredients

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.
