Tuscan Chicken Skillet

I've been experimenting with new spices and having some hits and misses. Spices are a fairly inexpensive way to boost your pantry – with a full spice cabinet, chicken and potatoes can taste different every night of the week.

I recently purchased some fennel seeds and hadn't found the right way to use them. I've always disliked it when I'd had it at restaurants, but those cooking shows swear by it – so I bought some to experiment with.

I used very little in this recipe, and while I could still taste it, it wasn't as overpowering as I'd previously experienced, and I actually really liked it. Now I know that I like fennel, but only in small doses. If you enjoy the taste, feel free to add more, of course! I used my cast iron skillet for this but any oven safe dish will work!
