Servings: persons

4 skin-on chicken breasts
1 bulb of fennel
4 1 inch thick slices of halloumi cheese
6 banana shallots
4 cloves of garlic
15 stalks of fresh thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons runny honey
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses or lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
Salad leaves

1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F and lightly oil a baking dish.
2
Trim the fennel and slice into thin wedges. Peel and halve the shallots and garlic. Strip all the thyme leaves off their stalks.
3
Place the fennel wedges over the bottom of the dish and top with the chicken and halloumi. Scatter the shallots and garlic around them.
4
Whisk the olive oil, honey and pomegranate molasses with most of the thyme leaves, in a small bowl and spoon it over the chicken, halloumi, fennel, shallots and garlic. Scatter over the remaining thyme and it it a few twists of the pepper mill. You won't (shouldn't) need salt as halloumi is a very salty cheese.
5
Roast in the oven for 35 - 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the halloumi is golden. Baste with the pan juices once or twice in that time.
6
Serve each portion of the chicken, halloumi, fennel, shallots and garlic on a handful of salad leaves drizzling over the pan juices instead of a salad dressing.
7
Excellent served with steamed green beans or broccoli on the side.
