I was going to suggest the same, only I like to roast the garlic cloves (whole) along with the fennel and potatoes. Oh, and I toss everything with olive oil and add sea salt and fresh ground pepper before roasting, too.

That's funny, because I was wondering if I was being dumb by *not* assuming everyone did that. :)

Mince garlic, put in some olive oil (several tablespoons), let sit for a while (at least 30 min).

Wash and trim fennel. Slice in thing rounds. Wash mushrooms, slice in thin pieces.

Lay fennel and mushrooms on a platter, slightly overlapping. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper. Enjoy the crunch.

Roasted Fennel with Parmesan:

[gavin]

cut the stalks off the fennel bulb. Reserve the fronds (if you have them) for later

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

slice fennel vertically (from top to bottom) in 1/4 inch slices, and lay in bottom of a lightly oiled 9X13 (or similar) baking dish.

sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, and then cover with 1/3 cup of freshly shredded parmesan.

Drizzle with a few tablespoons of olive oil.

Bake until the fennel is fork-tender and the top is golden brown, about 25 - 45 minutes.

Chop enough fennel fronds to equal 2 teaspoons, then sprinkle over the roasted fennel and serve.

maybe try brining the chicken breasts providing they are not skinless/boneless?

If they are skinless boneless, do your recipe, but do a quick sear on the breasts, slice them, and toss them in for just the last 15 minutes or so.
