Lemon and Fennel Chicken


This elegant dish is simply and flavorful. The lemon slices add lots of flavor, but you probably don't want to eat them!

1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bit-sized pieces
2 cups thinly sliced fennel
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
2 lemons, sliced

Heat a large skillet to medium high and mist with olive oil cooking spray. Cook chicken 5-8 minutes, tossing frequently and seasoning with salt and pepper. When chicken is almost totally cooked through, remove from skillet and set aside.

In the same pan, pour in 1 tbsp olive oil and add fennel. Cook 4-5 minutes, season with salt and pepper, then add rest of the olive oil, tomatoes and lemon slices. Cook another two minutes, reduce heat and add chicken.
