Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the chicken breasts in a saucepan. Add the broth, olive oil, fennel, thyme sprigs, garlic, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Then add enough cold water to cover the chicken. Place the saucepan over medium heat and simmer for 30 minutes, until tender. Transfer the chicken breasts to a serving platter and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Continue cooking the garlic until softened, about 5 more minutes. Strain the broth through a sieve and reserve 1/4 cup for the salad. Set the garlic aside for the sauce.

  3. Place the peppers in a preheated oven at 230°C (430°F) and roast, turning, until charred, about 12 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them roast for 20 minutes. Peel the peppers, cut off the stems, remove the seeds, and dice the flesh.
  4. Prepare the aioli sauce: In a blender, combine three-quarters of the roasted peppers, mayonnaise, cooked garlic, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Prepare the salad: Slice the fennel bulbs into thin strips and place in a large bowl. Add the remaining roasted peppers, parsley, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/4 cup broth and stir. Season the salad with salt and pepper.
  6. Slice the chicken breasts, arrange on plates, top with aioli and serve with fennel salad.
