Chicken Breasts with Fennel

One of my favorite things that I've come to love about working with Golden Blossom Honey all these years is learning that no matter what ingredient I'm working with, I can always count on them to have a fantastic recipe suggestion. Fennel was in our mystery produce bag this week from the flea market leftovers, and it's one of those veggies that I've used once or twice, but don't really know enough about it to curate my own dish from scratch. I don't know why I tend to overlook it when I'm buying produce, but I do know that the few times I have used it, I liked it quite well. However, it just hasn't left a lasting impression where I've needed to figure out a way to include it in more of my cooking. So, I leaned on Golden Blossom Honey to use up the market produce by testing out their Chicken Breast with Fennel recipe since I was drawing a blank on my own. 

 

This recipe isn't necessarily quick like the other recipes that I feature here, but it is relatively inexpensive, especially if you're using your own garden grown vegetables or if you're looking to use up produce near it's expiration date. The fennel and bell pepper do a wonderful job of adding a slightly sweet flavor profile to an otherwise savory dish. My daughter, who is quite the picky eater, passed on the cooked vegetables, but she had high praise for the flavor of the chicken. Honestly, she hardly ever takes the time to praise my cooking, but she made it a point to tell me "that chicken was really good!" one she finished her meal. And while it may not be my exclusive recipe, I'll thank the honey folks for getting me a hard earned compliment from queen of the picky plate club.
