Ingredients

  1 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s)   
1 Tbsp table salt, divided   
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes   
  1 large uncooked red onion(s), thinly sliced   
  1 medium uncooked fennel bulb(s), thinly sliced (reserve greens for garnish)   
1/2 cup(s) white wine   
2 tsp olive oil   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.

  • Rub 1/2 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes on both sides of chicken.

  • Place onion and fennel on bottom of a roasting pan; place chicken on top. Add wine and roast until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken from pan; stir vegetables and place back in oven. Reduce oven to 325ºF; roast vegetables, uncovered, until completely caramelized, about 35 to 40 minutes more.

  • Roughly shred chicken with two forks.

  • When vegetables are done, remove pan from oven and add chicken; toss well to coat. Drizzle with oil and season to taste with remaining salt; toss to coat. Garnish with fennel greens. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.

Notes

  • For a more colorful meal, add 4 julienned carrots with the fennel and onions. Finish the dish with a sprinkling of minced parsley. To watch a video on how to julienne carrots, click here.

This was so easy and very flavorful. It was filling too! I used white grape juice instead of wine. Definitely going to make it again.
