Easy Chicken and Fennel bake

This is such an easy main dish, but it will seem like you took ages making it! It's tasty, and is nice enough for a dinner party, but easy enough for a weeknight!

Here is what you need:

4 chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to season

One fennel bulb, tops removed and sliced.

One large apple, cored and sliced

One medium onion, sliced

1/4 cup apple cider

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken breasts in baking dish. Salt and pepper to season chicken. Top with fennel, apple and onion slices.

Add the apple cider and vinegar to the dish - note that if you don't have cider, you can use apple juice. Also, any vinegar will do if you don't have apple cider vinegar.

Drizzle olive oil on any exposed fennel, onion and apple slices (ie: any that is not covered by liquid)

Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Enjoy!

This meal can also be made using citrus fruits (lemon/lemon juice, orange/orange juice) or pears (pear/pear juice or cider). Both flavors will complement the anise flavor of the fennel!
