- Add garlic, apple cider and lemon juice to the pan and bring to a simmer. Arrange apple, fennel, rosemary and chicken, skin side up, in the pan.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and apples are tender. Sprinkle with reserved fennel fronds
