• Ready In: 1 hr 35 mins
• Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

• 6  boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 2  large fennel bulbs
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
• 1  cup water
• 2  teaspoons turmeric
• 1  teaspoon white pepper
• 1  teaspoon black pepper
• 1  teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Mix the turmeric, pepper and salt into the olive oil. Brush about half of this mixture over the chicken fillets.
2. Saute chicken gently for about 30 minutes Do not cover - turn the fillets occasionally.
3. Trim and clean the fennel bulbs. Cut into 4 pieces each.
4. Arrange fennel pieces in the pan with the chicken. Add about one third of the water. Brush with the remaining oil mixture.
