Make

  1. If making chicken on the grill: Preheat grill to 500 degrees. Clean grates and brush with some oil. Place chicken over direct heat. Cook over direct heat on opposite sides for ~4 minutes each and then move to indirect heat. Grill with cover closed for another 8 to 15 minutes depending on the size of chicken pieces and if there’s bone in it (bone-in chicken takes longer to cook). Use a thermometer to help you figure out when the chicken is done, at 165F (74C) degrees.
  2. If making chicken in the oven: Preheat oven to 400F (204C) degrees. Adjust oven rack to the middle. Line broiler pan with foil and place broiler rack on top of the pan. Place chicken pieces on rack and roast for 30 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the chicken pieces and if there’s bone in it (bone-in chicken takes longer to cook). Use a thermometer to help you figure out when the chicken is done, at 165F (74C) degrees.
  3. Place garlic, fennel, and broccolini into a microwave-safe dish. Cover with a wet paper towel and microwave for 2 and a half minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan, skillet, or saute pan over medium heat. Toast pine nuts until fragrant and golden, ~3 minutes.
  5. Now add cooking oil to the pan and then microwaved fennel and broccolini to heated oil. Saute until everything is cooked through, ~3 minutes. Finish with orange zest and lemon juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy with chicken.
