Fennel and Onion Baked Chicken

April 15, 2011 CherylDLee

As I get older I realize how much I like simple things. Sure, I can appreciate an over the top elaborate 10 course meal. But you just won’t find me cooking one anymore. No, simple and fresh flavors work for me.

While “shopping” in my friend Holland’s garden again, she gave me a fresh fennel bulb from her huge plant. Fennel is such a wonderfully sweet, licorice scented vegetable. You can roast it or eat it raw, thinly sliced and added to salad. Cooked or raw it is delicious.

Cut into wedges and seasoned with sea salt and pepper, the fennel and onions bake into a softly sweet base for the chicken.

This recipe showcases the flavor of the fennel. With the addition of a sweet onion and fresh thyme, this baked chicken goes from simple to sublime.

    I totally agree with you on this. Simple food is simply the best. We get to taste its natural goodness. This is such a wholesome dish. I like it a lot because it’s not smothered in sauce.
