\"FennelTeriyaki\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This meal came together from several different things I’d been wanting to try.<\/p>\n

Oven-crisp Chicken Breast<\/p>\n

– Chicken breast, patted dry
\n– dusted in flour, then dipped in beaten egg
\n– crusted with a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika
\n– I baked it in my ancient (but trusty) toaster oven… you could try 25 minutes at 375\u00c2\u00b0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in a non-stick skillet:<\/p>\n

– dry-toast a few tablespoons of sesame seeds and set aside.
\n– add a bit of oil and cook the leftover beaten egg from the chicken crust. Remove and set aside.
\n– stir-fry until browned: sliced cabbage, chopped carrot. Remove and set aside.
\n– add a fennel bulb, cut into wedges, and turn the pieces occasionally until they are well browned.
\n– pour in 1\/2 cup white wine, and enough chicken broth to mostly cover the fennel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the fennel is tender – at least 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

While the vegetables are cooking, mix up a quick teriyaki sauce:<\/p>\n

– 2 T soy sauce, 1 T rice vinegar, 1 T mirin, 1 T sugar, 1\/4 t chili flakes, 1 t cornstarch. Mix well.
\n– when the fennel is tender, remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon.
\n– add the sauce mixture to any liquid left in the pan, and raise the heat to boil until the sauce is reduced and thickened.<\/p>\n

Serve the vegetables over rice or noodles, top with sliced chicken breast, drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
