Ingredients

  • 1tablespoonavocado oil
  • 1tablespoonbutter
  • 2(5 ounce)skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • ⅓cupsweet vermouth
  • 1bulbfennel, cored and thinly sliced crosswise
  • 3tablespoonschopped fresh parsley
  • 1mediumlemon, juiced
  • ½teaspoonground black pepper
  • 2cupschicken bone broth
  • 1 ½cupsbaby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1cupbuttermilk
  • ⅓cupheavy cream
  • 1pinchred pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • Himalayan salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • Directions

    Heat oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium. Pour vermouth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

    Add fennel; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add parsley, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate to cool.

    Add broth, mushrooms, buttermilk, heavy cream, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer. Keep hot, but do not boil.

    When chicken is cooled, tear into pieces and return to the pot. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.



    Cook's Notes:

    For an easy buttermilk substitute, use 3/4 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup milk, and (optional) 1/2 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar.

    You can substitute 1/2 cup half-and-half for 1/3 cup heavy cream, and use 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning in place of the lemon juice and black pepper in step 2.
