Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer skillet to oven and roast for 12 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Step 3: While chicken roasts, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add 2 thinly sliced fennel bulbs and 4 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in 3 tbsp Aperol and 2 tbsp honey, cooking for 3 minutes until syrupy and reduced by half.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from oven, let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve over fennel, drizzling with pan sauce. Sprinkle with 1 tsp dried oregano.
