\"\"Lemon Braised Chicken with Fennel<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 lemon<\/p>\n

4 (10- to 12-ounce) bone-in split chicken breasts<\/p>\n

4 T. unsalted butter<\/p>\n

2 fennel bulbs<\/p>\n

3 garlic cloves<\/p>\n

1 cups chicken broth<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cut away peel and pith from lemon, then slice crosswise into 1\/8-inch-thick rounds. Trim chicken, pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Melt 1 T. butter in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown 2 chicken breasts on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes; transfer to plate. Repeat with 1 T. butter and remaining chicken. Trim fennel stalks and fronds: mince 2 T. fronds and reserve. Trim bulb, cut in half, core, and slice into 1\/4-inch-thick strips. Add fennel and 1\/4 tsp. salt to now-empty pot and cook over medium heat until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Mince garlic, stir into pot, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, scraping up any browned bits. Nestle chicken and any accumulated juices into pot. Add lemon slices and bring to simmer. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until chicken is fully cooked and tender and registers 160 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to serving dish; cover to keep warm. Remove fat from surface of sauce using large spoon, return sauce to simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in remaining 2 T. butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over chicken and sprinkle with fennel fronds. Serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
