2. Grill the chicken and fennel on high heat for 7 to 8 minutes per side, basting the remaining liquid. Ensure that the chicken is cooked through.
3. Serve immediately with a light salad.

Replace the chicken with turkey or seafood, such as swordfish, sea bass, tuna, shrimp or scallops. If using seafood, remember to reduce the cooking time by about half.
Low-Fat Option
Leave out the olive oil, and use chicken stock or a juice instead.
