Without the fennel seeds, this would have been a bit plain and boring, but the fennel added wonderful notes of licorice/anise! I would use more chicken, and I also didn't like that the red wine tinted everything a rather unappealing purple - might try with white wine next time. Served over angel hair pasta.
