This recipe turned out really well. I am usually not too adventurous when it comes to cooking but using fennel for the first time in my slow cooker really paid off.
This chicken is so flavourful and juicy, perfect over mashed sweet potatoes and steamed veggies. And the best thing about it is that you put in minimal effort but get out maximum flavour! Yum!
Helpful Note: I used chicken legs for this recipe because they are inexpensive and tasty but feel free to use chicken breasts instead.

- 1 Fennel Bulb
- 4 Chicken Legs or chicken breasts
- 4 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice 2 small lemons
- 3 Garlic Cloves minced or finely grated

- Place the lemon juice into a jug or bowl and mince/grate in the garlic. Mix in the fennel seeds and the pour the mixture on top of the chicken.

- Liquid accumulates whilst cooking, so once cooked, take out the chicken and remove all of the bones carefully from the legs and shred up the chicken.
- Place the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir into the remaining liquid and the sliced fennel.
