Categories     main-dish

Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 skinned, boneless chicken breast
2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed, and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices
Coarse grain salt
Cracked black pepper
2 limes, juiced
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Pour only enough olive oil (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) on a cookie sheet to prevent the chicken and the fennel from sticking. Place the chicken breast in a single layer on the sheet pan. Place in the broiler for 7 minutes.
  • Remove and add the fennel in a single layer and brush both sides with the olive oil. Season fennel slices with salt and pepper on both sides. Squeeze juice of 1 lime over the fennel slices and place under the broiler. Broil for 5 minutes.
  • Some of the edges may blacken slightly. Remove the fennel from the oven and using tongs or a spatula, and turn over each slice of fennel. Top with the Parmesan. Place back under the broiler for 1 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese starts to brown.
  • Allow fennel to remain in the pan until ready to serve. Do not refrigerate. This is wonderful served at room temperature. Just before serving, squeeze remaining lime juice over fennel slices.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

4Tbsp olive oil
4 Fennel Bulbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 C shredded Parmesan Cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. Remove the stems and fronds from the bulb, cut horizontally into 1/3 - inch slices, fronds reserved. Lightly oil the bottom of a half sheet pan.

Chop enough fennel fronds to equal 2 teaspoons, then sprinkle over the roasted fennel and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fennel bulbs: Look for fennel bulbs that are firm, have no blemishes, and have tightly packed layers.
  • Trim the fennel properly: Remove the tough outer layer of the fennel bulb and cut off the feathery green tops, reserving them for garnish.
  • Slice the fennel thinly: This will help it roast evenly and caramelize.
  • Toss the fennel with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting: This will help it develop flavor.
  • Roast the fennel at a high temperature: This will help it caramelize and develop a slightly crispy texture.
  • Roast the fennel until it is tender and slightly browned: This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Garnish the fennel with the reserved fennel greens and grated Parmesan cheese before serving: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
