Baked Chicken, Potatoes, and Fennel

Fresh fennel (often mistakenly called anise) is a common ingredient in Mediterranean cooking. Here, it is baked until tender and buttery-tasting. If you are unable to find fennel bulbs with the fronds still attached, you can garnish the dish with dill instead.

Prep: 20 minutes
Total: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 6 small white potatoes, 1 1/2 pounds, halved and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons
  • 1 medium fennel bulb, fronds chopped, stalks sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick, and bulb halved then sliced 1/4 inch thick lengthwise (tough core removed and discarded)
  • 4 cloves garlic, halved lengthwise
  • 5 teaspoons olive oil
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 whole chicken, cut into 10 pieces (about 2 1/2 pounds)
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss potatoes with fennel (bulb and stalk), garlic, and 4 teaspoons oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Bake, tossing occasionally, until potato edges are browned, 35 to 45 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm remaining teaspoon oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook, starting with skin side down, until browned on both sides, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken.
  3. Wipe skillet with a paper towel; add broth, and bring to a boil. Add chicken and hot broth to potato mixture in baking dish; bake until chicken is no longer pink and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with fronds.
