Preparation

Step 1

Place the chicken in a zip-top bag (or between two sheets of plastic wrap) on a cutting board.
Pound to a fairly even ⅓-inch thickness and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Place ½ tablespoon of the extra-virgin olive oil and the chicken in the skillet and cook the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the hot skillet.

Then add the fennel, onion, and oregano. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion and fennel begin to caramelize.

Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds more.

Add the broth, bring to a boil, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the broth has evaporated.

Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the chicken and serve it over the veggies, sprinkled with basil and walnuts.
