Lemon chicken with fennel salad recipe

This Lemon Chicken and Fennel Salad recipe is a great mid-week dinner that is quick and easy to make. Fennel is such a zesty addition to the salad to make it really stand out from your typical salad. If fennel isn’t for you, then asparagus or corn would be a great substitute.
