Method

Cut the chicken into eight pieces and remove the skin. Pre-seal the chicken in a browning dish or frying pan if desired.

Put the oil and onion into a casserole with the spices. Cook, uncovered, on HIGH for 2 minutes. Cut the celery into 5cm/2 inch pieces, diagonally. Trim and shred the fennel. Add to the casserole and cook on HIGH for 4 minutes, stirring once. Stir in the flour, add the stock and wine and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add the chicken, cover and cook on HIGH for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. If the chicken was pre­sealed, the final cooking time should be reduced by 5-10 minutes.
