- Add the chicken stock and wine; bring to boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Add the lemon juice and chopped fennel bulb; return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove the chicken to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Whisk the reserved flour mixture with 1/4 cup of cold water. Add into the pan, bring to a boil, reduce to medium-high heat and cook, whisking, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped fennel fronds and dill; pour over the chicken, and serve.
