Ingredients:

Serving

3 small fennel bulbs (about 2 3/4 lb), trimmed , quartered lengthwise
3 red bell peppers , cut into 1-inch-wide strips
2 tbsp olive oil ( preferably extra-virgin)
3 tsp chopped fresh thyme
6 boneless chicken breasts
2 tbsp (1/4 stick) butter
2 tsp finely grated lemon peel
1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
fresh thyme sprigs (optional)

Directions:

Cook fennel bulbs in large saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain; cool.
Toss fennel, bell peppers, olive oil and 1 teaspoon chopped thyme in large bowl to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Preheat broiler. Using mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast between sheets of plastic to 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken, skin side down, on broiler pan.
Watching closely, broil chicken 4 to inches from heat source until golden brown and almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove broiler pan from oven. Pour off any pan drippings. Using tongs, turn chicken over and broil until skin is golden brown and chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Pour off any additional pan drippings.
Working in 2 batches, arrange peppers and fennel in single layer on broiler pan. Broil until vegetables begin to brown and peppers and tender, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer vegetables to platter with chicken.
Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat. Mix in remaining 2 teaspoons chopped thyme, lemon peel and fennel seeds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Drizzle butter mixture over chicken. Garnish chicken with thyme sprigs, if desired, and serve.
