Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. In a blender, combine the basil, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt; blend until smooth.

Step 2

Make vertical cuts every 1/2 inch (1.3cm) in the chicken breasts, not cutting all the way through the meat to create pockets. Fill each pocket with a slice of tomato and cheese. Spoon the basil mixture into the pockets. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Cut the fennel lengthwise into 1/2 inch (1.3cm) slices through the root end. Brush the fennel with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and arrange on the baking sheet around the chicken. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center (an instant read thermometer will register 165°F/74°C), about 20 minutes. Serve the chicken with the fennel on the side
