Spicy Italian chicken and fennel stew - slow cooked for rich and bold flavors.
Ingredients:
  • 56.88 gm olive oil
  • 2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed, thickly sliced
  • 900g chicken thigh fillets, cut in half
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4 anchovies, finely chopped
  • 1 long red chilli, finely chopped
  • 82.50 gm white wine
  • 400g can diced tomatoes
  • Italian bread, to serve
  • Fennel fronds, to garnish
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Sauté fennel, stirring occasionally, for 6-7 minutes until golden. Transfer to a 5L slow-cooker. Add the remaining oil in the same pan. Season chicken and coat with flour. Cook chicken in 2 batches for 5-6 minutes until well browned. Transfer chicken to the slow cooker.
  • Saute garlic, anchovy, and chili in a pan until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in wine and let it come to a boil, cooking for 1 minute until reduced by half. Transfer to a slow cooker with tomatoes and cook covered on low for 5 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Garnish with Italian bread and fennel fronds before serving.
