Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • ⅓ cup sweet vermouth
  • 1 bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced crosswise
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken bone broth
  • 1 ½ cups baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • Himalayan salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium. Pour vermouth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Add fennel; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add parsley, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate to cool.
  • Add broth, mushrooms, buttermilk, heavy cream, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer. Keep hot, but do not boil.
  • When chicken is cooled, tear into pieces and return to the pot. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
