Roast Bone In Chicken Breast with Fennel, an elegant dish, and delicious with complex flavors. But don't let that keep you from devouring this perfect entree.
Fennel is a wonderfully delicious vegetable when cooked to full tenderness like bone in chicken breast take, which takes longer to cook than boneless chicken breast.
My idea that the fennel would lend flavor to the chicken ad the chicken would flavor the fennel nicely was beyond my expectations. The results were remarkable.
When the fennel is cooked to full tenderness, it can be quite sweet and so flavorful and pared with the roasted chicken, quite exquisite.

HOW TO MAKE ROAST BONE IN CHICKEN BREAST WITH FENNEL
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Drizzle avocado oil into the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange sliced onion over the oil, overlapping pieces. Arrange the sliced fennel over the onion slices.
- Sprinkle the bone in chicken breasts or whole cut up chicken with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the chicken breasts over the layer of fennel with skin side up. Generously salt and pepper the chicken breasts. Arrange the lemon wedges around the chicken.
- Drizzle generously avocado oil over the seasoned chicken breast.
