Chicken With Fennel And Apples Recipes

Steps:

• Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and brown on skin side only in a hot, large, deep saucepan. Remove and set aside. Sweat off onion, garlic and fennel in the same pan.
• Add white wine and bring to a boil. Add apple juice and return to a boil. Stir in apples, thyme, bay leaves and saffron.
• Return chicken to the pan. Simmer, cover and cook until chicken is done - approximately 20 minutes - or alternately bake, covered, in a 350°F oven until chicken is done. Season to taste. Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. On two rimmed baking sheets, arrange chicken, fennel, shallots, and sage. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar and drizzle over chicken and vegetables. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper. Roast 35 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Add apples to sheets and roast until fennel is browned and chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss chicken with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and arrange on a large rimmed baking sheet, skin-side up.
• In the same bowl, toss potatoes and fennel with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and arrange in an even layer around the chicken.
• Roast until chicken and potatoes are a deep golden brown and fennel is starting to caramelize at the edges, about 35 to 45 minutes.
• As chicken cooks, combine vinegar, lemon zest and juice, mustard, garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Whisk in remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a thin stream and stir in pecorino. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest. Toss the fennel fronds and parsley with the roasted vegetables.
• To serve, cut the chicken off the bone and slice. Divide chicken and vegetables among plates. Serve with a handful of leafy greens if you like, and spoon the pecorino vinaigrette over everything.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large ovenproof skillet. Add 2 Gala apples and 1 fennel bulb (both cut into wedges) and 6 halved small shallots and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon chopped thyme, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast at 425˚ F, tossing once, until tender, 15 minutes. Add 1 more tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons cider vinegar; toss until glazed, 1 minute. Top with fennel fronds.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Cut each apple in half, then cut into ½-inch wedges, removing the core and seeds. Place the apples in a roasting pan.
• Slice the fennel bulbs in half lengthwise. Cut the core out, then cut each half into ½-inch wedges. Add the fennel to the pan with the apples. Reserve some of the fronds for garnish.
• Peel the red onion and cut in half through the stem. Cut into ½-inch wedges through the stem to keep the wedges intact. Add to the pan with the fennel and apples.
• Peel the garlic and crush the cloves with the side of a knife. Add to the pan.
• Drizzle everything lightly with olive oil. Season generously with salt and toss to coat. Place the thyme and sage on top.
• Generously season the chicken on all sides with salt. Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables.
• Roast chicken for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350ºF and continue roasting for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165ºF. Remove the pan from the oven.
• Use a baster to remove most of the liquid from the bottom of the pan and transfer to a small saucepan.
• Heat the drippings over medium heat. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Strip a few thyme sprigs and add the leaves to the pot, along with the mustard and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk well to combine. Let reduce for 4-5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in the butter until melted. Season with more salt to taste, if necessary.
• Pour the sauce over the roasted chicken and vegetables. Garnish with more thyme, sage, and the reserved fennel fronds.
• Enjoy!
