Lime-Ginger Glazed Chicken With Fennel Relish image

Unfortunately I can't remember where I got the original recipe for this, but made some edits of my own when The Beau and I had an out of town guest. I doubled the recipe, as it looked so good I knew I was going to want some the next day. Instead of cooking the chicken in a skillet, I grilled it on the barbecue, but reduced the glaze on the stove. To my dismay, the three of us gobbled it all up and there weren't any leftovers! I do love fennel immensely and have tried the relish with grilled fish, which was wonderful. One time I also added fresh corn cut from the cob to the relish, a great addition.

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together fennel, radicchio, green onions, and olives.
  • In small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar and salt and pepper.
  • Pour over fennel and toss to coat well, best when made before cooking chicken so flavours can blend, but don't make more than an hour ahead.
