Lemonade Fennel Chicken Pasta

Lemonade fruit… but make it dinner.

@wellnesswith_verity turned our sweet, juicy seasonal lemonades into this easy one-pan lemonade fennel chicken pasta - and it might just be our new favourite way to use them.

Easy, comforting and all made in one pan with delicious NZ ingredients. Who doesn't love a quick and tasty dinner?

Ingredients

4-6 chicken thighs

3 large garlic cloves, sliced

2 tbsp olive or avocado oil

2 tbsp butter

1 large fennel bulb, finely sliced (save the fronds!)

1 red onion, finely sliced

2 Lemonade fruit, peeled & diced

1 extra Lemonade fruit, for squeezing

3 heaped tsp chicken broth

1 cup water

1 tsp dried oregano

Sea salt & black pepper

Pasta, cooked until al dente

Method

  • Sauté the onion, garlic and oregano in the oil until almost soft. Add the fennel and cook for another 3 minutes.

  • Add the chicken, season well, then add the butter and chicken broth. Cook until the chicken is beautifully golden on both sides.

  • Add the water, stir and simmer for around 15 minutes - 10 minutes with the lid on, then 5 minutes off - until the chicken is cooked through, the fennel is tender and a glossy sauce has formed.

  • Remove and slice the chicken if you like, then return it to the pan. Add the drained pasta and toss everything through the sauce, adding a splash of water if needed.

  • Finish with a generous squeeze of fresh Lemonade fruit and a scattering of fennel fronds.
