  • 1 bulb fennel, quartered, cored and finely chopped, reserving a handful of fronds
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 2 tablespoons thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper

  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into thin pieces
  • 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for topping
  • ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Pull skin from chicken and remove chicken from bones. Pull or chop meat into small pieces.
