Provided by Ronnie Fein

Categories     Main

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups apple cider
2 tablespoons honey
6 whole cloves
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 roasting chicken, 5-7 pounds

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 small red onion, sliced
2 tart apples, peeled, cored and quartered

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. 2. Combine the cider, honey, cloves and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid has reduced to one cup. Discard the cloves. Set aside. 3. Rinse and dry the chicken. Place it on a rack in a roasting pan. Rub the chicken with the vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme. Place the chicken breast side down on the rack. Scatter the onion in the bottom of the roasting pan. Place the pan in the oven. Immediately reduce the oven heat to 350°F. Roast for 30 minutes. 4. Pour the reduced cider over the chicken. Roast for another 30 minutes, basting the chicken once or twice, then turn it breast side up. 5. Place the apples in the pan. Roast for another hour or so, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160° F. Baste several times during the roasting period. 6. Transfer the chicken to a carving board. Strain the pan fluids, remove the fat and pour the fluids into a small saucepan. Let the chicken rest at least 15 minutes before carving. While carving, cook the pan fluids to reduce them to a syrupy consistency. Serve the chicken and fluids separately.

CHICKEN WITH APPLES



Chicken With Apples image

WOW! This is not the same old chicken! Only 6 ingredients your family- kids included- will love this and your guests will think you are the MOST amazing chef! winonaradiocom.

Provided by Mamas Kitchen Hope

Categories     Canadian

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 apple, cored and sliced
1/4 cup butter, real butter gives more flavor
1/2 cup heavy cream or 1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup white wine or 1/2 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon thyme

Steps:

  • Pan fry chicken in half of the butter just until no longer pink in the middle, turning once to ensure both sides are browned.
  • Remove chicken from pan and keep in a warm place or cover with foil.
  • Core and slice apples as desired. I like to use my apple slicer- looks like a wagon wheel with handles- and then slice each lengthwise to make them thinner. To peel or not to peel- hehehehe- up to you. Likewise, red or green- the choice is yours. I like peel on and red for color!
  • Add the rest of the butter, apples and thyme and fry until apples are as crisp or tender as you like.
  • Pour apples over chicken and keep warm.
  • Deglaze the pan with wine, cider or juice scraping all the yummy bits off the bottom.
  • Add the cream- could use reduced fat sour cream or reduced fat or nonfat yogurt to reduce fat/calories. Yogurt will and a nice 'tang' to the sauce.
  • Cook until slightly thickened.
  • Return the chicken and apple mixture to the pan to make sure apples and chicken are nice and warm.
  • When you are satisfied with the temperature of the dish, serve and enjoy!
  • Experiment with your favorite herbs and seasonings- I have not tried this but I think a pinch of cinnamon might be really yummy here or maybe some nutmeg -- hmm --.
  • Let me know what you think.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut chicken breasts or thighs.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger, use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • For a sweeter dish, use Honeycrisp or Fuji apples.
  • If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Serve over rice, quinoa, or noodles.

Conclusion:

This chicken with apples and ginger is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the apples are sweet and tart, and the ginger adds a nice zing. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
