APPLE CRANBERRY CHICKEN

I made this up because I thought the flavors would match perfectly--and they do. The balsamic vinegar is really the key ingredient and adds a nice zip. This is for one serving, but it can be doubled, tripled, etc. to feed a larger crowd.

Categories     Chicken     Poultry     Braise     Quick & Easy     Apple     Sage     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 chicken thighs with skin and bones (3 lb)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 apples (preferably Gala; 3/4 lb total), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1/2 cup chopped shallots (2 to 3)
2/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken well, starting with skin sides down and turning over once, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet.
  • Add butter, brown sugar, apples, and shallots to fat in skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add broth, vinegar, and sage and deglaze skillet by boiling, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, 1 minute. Return chicken, skin sides up, to skillet along with any juices accumulated on plate. Reduce heat and simmer, loosely covered with foil, until chicken is cooked through and sauce is slightly reduced, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
  • If you don't have fresh sage, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried sage instead.
  • For a sweeter dish, add 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the cranberry sauce.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large skillet or braising pan instead.
  • Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
