CHICKEN WITH APPLE, ONION AND CIDER SAUCE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for coating
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large red onion, cut into large pieces
1 sweet cooking apple, cut into large pieces
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and coat in flour, shaking off the excess. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pan. Place the chicken smooth-side down in the skillet and cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish and bake until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the red onion and apple to the skillet, along with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil if the pan is dry. Increase the heat to high and cook, tossing, until the onion has wilted slightly and the apple is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar with a wooden spoon, scraping up the browned bits from the pan. Let the mixture boil until the vinegar becomes syrupy, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the broth reduces by half. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and whisk in the butter.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven; add any collected juices to the pan sauce. Divide the chicken among plates and spoon the apple, onion and sauce over each piece. Sprinkle with the parsley.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin on chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced
1 cup apple cider
½ cup chicken stock
½ tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
½ teaspoon salt
2 medium apples, sliced
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a deep oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs to the hot oil and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  • Add sliced onions to the skillet and saute until they just start to brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in apple cider and chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Stir in thyme and salt. Simmer until the onions are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • Add chicken back to the skillet and spoon some sauce over the top. Arrange sliced apples around the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove skillet from the oven and carefully uncover. Transfer chicken from the skillet to a plate and keep warm. Whisk heavy cream and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir gently into the sauce in the skillet. Place chicken back into the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
  • Return skillet to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes more. Serve chicken and apples with the sauce.
