    • Take the chicken out of the refrigerator. Preheat to 425F.

    Notes

    The best way to know that the chicken is ready is checking it with an instant thermometer. Internal temperature should read 165F.
    Don't add the chickpeas until the chicken has already been cooking for at least 15 minutes. If you add them sooner, the chickpeas will burn.

      I love fennel so much, but it seems I buy it and then use it for one or two recipes and then run out of ideas! Will definitely be trying this - the one pot dinner is always good!

      I so love fennel in winter - especially when baked! The spice mixture you use for this traybake sounds just perfect! This and a green salad (and just maybe some chilled white wine) and I am a very happy lady. Thanks for sharing this.
