Sheet Pan Chicken With Fennel Recipes

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND FENNEL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss chicken with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and arrange on a large rimmed baking sheet, skin-side up.
• In the same bowl, toss potatoes and fennel with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and arrange in an even layer around the chicken.
• Roast until chicken and potatoes are a deep golden brown and fennel is starting to caramelize at the edges, about 35 to 45 minutes.
• As chicken cooks, combine vinegar, lemon zest and juice, mustard, garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Whisk in remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a thin stream and stir in pecorino. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest. Toss the fennel fronds and parsley with the roasted vegetables.
• To serve, cut the chicken off the bone and slice. Divide chicken and vegetables among plates. Serve with a handful of leafy greens if you like, and spoon the pecorino vinaigrette over everything.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH APPLE, FENNEL AND ONION

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a small skillet, toast the fennel seeds over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pound into a coarse powder with a mortar and pestle or, alternatively, roughly chop. In a large bowl, toss together the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the fennel seeds and season well with salt and pepper.
• Place the onion, fennel and apple slices on the sheet pan. Toss with the remaining olive oil and season well with salt. Spread in an even layer. Add the chicken skin side up on top of the vegetables and lay the rosemary (distributing evenly) on top of the chicken. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the onions, fennel and apples are softened and have begun to caramelize at the edge of the pan.
• Turn the oven to broil and move the oven rack to sit right below it. Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs and broil the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes until the skin of the chicken is crispy and golden. Season with flaky salt.

CHICKEN FENNEL BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Cut the fennel into thick slices. Shingle them onto the center of the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
• Zest 2 of the lemons and set aside, then juice these lemons into a medium bowl. Whisk the olive oil into the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Halve the remaining 3 lemons and add them to the bowl along with the potatoes and carrots. Toss to coat. Spread the vegetables and lemon halves around the outside of the baking sheet. Put the chicken thighs in the same bowl along with the reserved lemon zest and more salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Put the chicken on top of the fennel skin-side up, leaving a little space between pieces.
• Bake, stirring the potatoes and carrots halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Serve the chicken with the vegetables and roasted lemon halves.

SHEET PAN ROAST CHICKEN THIGHS WITH FENNEL AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In very large bowl, whisk together oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper. Add chicken thighs, fennel, potatoes, onion, garlic and thyme; toss to coat evenly. Arrange in single layer on large foil-lined baking sheet.
• Bake, turning vegetables halfway, for 35 to 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through. Garnish with fennel fronds and serve with lemon wedges.

SHEET-PAN CUMIN CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SQUASH, FENNEL, AND GRAPES

Steps:

• Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 425°F. Mix brown sugar, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl. Toss squash, fennel, and grapes with oil and half of spice mixture on rimmed baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.
• Rub chicken thighs with remaining spice mixture and arrange, skin side up, on top of fruit and vegetables. Roast until skin is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 165°F, about 35 minutes; if chicken skin or vegetables start to burn, move pan to a lower rack to finish cooking.
• Divide chicken, fruit, and vegetables among 4 plates and top with mint.

KETO SHEET PAN CHICKEN WITH CABBAGE, FENNEL AND EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the cabbage into quarters then cut out and discard the core from each quarter. Halve each quarter lengthwise for a total of 8 wedges. Separate the leaves, keeping the wedges intact, and place on an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Halve the fennel lengthwise, cut out and discard the core, then slice the fennel crosswise into half-moons 1/4 inch thick. Reserve the fennel fronds for garnish. Add the fennel and eggplant to the baking sheet.
• Combine the scallions, olive oil, vinegar, Dijon, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir together then pour over the vegetables. Toss to coat and spread into an even layer.
• Liberally season the chicken with salt and pepper then place on top of the vegetables, spacing the thighs 2 to 3 inches apart.
• Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and continue to roast until the vegetables are softened and charred around the edges and the chicken is cooked through with golden and crispy skin, about 30 minutes more.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the parsley, oregano and reserved fennel fronds.
