Ingredients

1/2 cup lime juice
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
fresh ground black pepper
Fennel Relish
1 small fennel bulb, julienned (white part only)
1 cup chopped radicchio
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup sliced black kalamata olive
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
salt
fresh ground black pepper
lime slice (to garnish)
fennel leaves (to garnish)

Preparation

For chicken:
In shallow glass dish, mix together lime juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, lime peel and crushed red pepper.
Add chicken, turning to coat evenly; marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade; pat chicken dry.
In large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook about 4 minutes per side.
In small saucepan, place reserved marinade and cook over medium heat until reduced to a glaze.
For Fennel Relish:
In a medium bowl, mix together fennel, radicchio, green onions, and olives.
In small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar and salt and pepper.
Pour over fennel and toss to coat well, best when made before cooking chicken so flavours can blend, but don't make more than an hour ahead.
To serve, arrange chicken and Fennel Relish on platter.
Spoon glaze over chicken and garnish with lime slices and fronds of fennel.
