Roast crispy chicken with fennel and onions

A one dish meal that makes both cooking and cleaning up quite easy!

What I like about this recipe is the essence of the fennel and onion steam through the chicken while roasting, adding a deeper flavor.  The panko breadcrumbs add a nice crunch to the top of the chicken with the added flavor of parmesan cheese.
