Ingredients:
2 fennel bulbs
seasoning mix
6 skinned and boned chicken breast halves
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 purple onion, chopped
4 large carrots, coarsely shredded
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

2. Sprinkle 3 teaspoons Seasoning Mix evenly over chicken.
3. Sauté chicken in 2 teaspoons hot oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Cut into thin slices; set aside, and keep warm.
4. Sauté fennel, onion, and carrot in remaining 1 teaspoon hot oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 5 minutes or until fennel begins to soften.
