Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease the baking dish with olive oil.
Prepare the biscuit dough.
Mix the flour in a medium bowl with the baking powder, salt, and parsley.
Cut in the cold butter and work it in with your fingers or a pastry blender until the flour mixture resembles soft bread crumbs.
Add the milk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Set aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into large bite-size pieces. Toss the pieces in a bowl with the flour and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to sizzle when a drop of water is flicked in, add the chicken and brown for about 6 minutes, turning halfway through.
Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the onion, fennel, and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they start to turn tender and fragrant.
Add the potatoes and turn the heat up a little. Sauté the potatoes for a few minutes with the onion, then add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the broth and chicken, and season the stew with about 1 teaspoon of salt and plenty of black pepper.
Spread the stew in the prepared baking dish. Drop the biscuit dough on top in 6 to 8 evenly spaced mounds and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the biscuit topping is golden.
