Pan-Roasted Chicken with Fennel, Leeks and Cream

Fennel has a mild licorice flavor that mellows and sweetens during cooking, and is well matched with delicate, onionlike leeks. Feathery fennel fronds are a fragrant and fitting garnish for any dish, like this one, with fennel as an ingredient. Cream draws the tastes of the fennel, leeks and chicken together and creates a rich, velvety sauce.
