Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 plum tomatoes, (about 1 pound), cored and cut in 3/4-inch pieces
2 fennel bulbs, (10 to 12 ounces each), halved, cored, and thinly sliced crosswise, fronds reserved
1/2 cup dry white wine
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, (about 8 ounces each)

Steps:

  • In a large, deep skillet, combine tomatoes, fennel, and wine; season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer on top of vegetables, allowing as much space between pieces as possible; season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover skillet, and simmer gently until chicken is opaque throughout, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Slice chicken breasts, and serve on top of vegetable mixture; garnish with reserved fennel fronds.
  • To slice fennel, remove stalks and fronds. Halve bulb lengthwise through the root. Cut out tough part of core from each half, and discard. Thinly slice crosswise (for most tender pieces).
