A quick and easy weeknight meal need not be boring. With some strategic pantry stocking and the new collection of recipes from recipe developer Rukmini Iyer, you can revitalize your repertoire in style. This one-pan roasted chicken with fennel is a simple, comforting way to feed everyone, quick!

This is as good for a quick weeknight meal as it is for easy entertaining, and an excellent way to use up any impulse bought fennel that might be languishing at the back of the fridge. If you can find skin-on chicken breasts, you'll get lovely crispy chicken skin as a bonus, but this works just as well otherwise. A quick pantry sauce made from mustard and mayonnaise brings the dish together.
