MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS AND APPLES IN WHITE WINE AND CREAM SAUCE



Mustard Chicken Thighs and Apples in White Wine and Cream Sauce image

This main dish is fast enough for a weeknight, but "fancy" enough for guests! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are quickly browned, then simmered with apples and onions in a flavorful liquid. Simply remove the apples and onions at the end, let the liquid reduce, add a little cream, and voila, there is a beautiful sauce! We enjoyed this recipe with white rice, steamed broccoli, and a crusty baguette.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

⅔ cup apple juice
⅔ cup Pinot Grigio wine
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 medium boneless, skinless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup onion slices
4 medium Apples, raw
⅔ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine apple juice, white wine, Dijon mustard, garlic, ginger, and herbes de Provence in a small container; set aside.
  • Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and brown chicken thighs, about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle onion slices over chicken thighs, add apple slices, and pour cooking liquid on top. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken, apples, and onions to a serving dish and keep warm.
  • Bring liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow liquid to boil and reduce down to about 1 1/2 cups, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and cook until sauce has thickened and is well blended.

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN AND APPLES



Honey-Mustard Chicken and Apples image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut into large chunks
2 cooking apples (such as Cortland), cut into chunks
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 to 3 tablespoons honey mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 to 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until golden, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes, then transfer to a plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
  • Add the onion and apples to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Mix the broth with the mustard, then add to the skillet and bring to a boil. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, in the skillet. Transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Mix the butter and flour to form a paste. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken, apples and onion to plates. Bring the pan juices to a simmer, whisk in about half of the butter-flour mixture and boil to thicken, 2 minutes. Continue to cook, adding more of the butter-flour mixture as needed to make a slightly thick gravy. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 medium bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good olive oil
2 cups halved and thinly sliced yellow onions (2 onions)
2 tablespoons dry white wine
8 ounces creme fraiche
1 tablespoon good Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board, skin side up, and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Turn them over and sprinkle them with one more teaspoon of salt.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan in one layer, skin side down. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes without moving, until the skin is golden brown. (If the skin gets too dark, turn the heat to medium low.) Turn the chicken pieces with tongs, add the onions to the pan, including under the chicken, and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally, until the thighs are cooked to 155 to 160 degrees and the onions are browned. Transfer the chicken (not the onions) to a plate and allow to rest uncovered while you make the sauce. If the onions aren't browned, cook them for another minute.
  • Add the wine, creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet and stir over medium heat for one minute. Return the chicken, skin side up, and the juices to the skillet, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.

ONE-PAN HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS



One-Pan Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
One 14-ounce bag frozen pearl onions
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock
3 tablespoons honey mustard
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, quartered
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 cup frozen petite peas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry and sprinkle the skin side generously with salt and pepper.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large, high-sided ovenproof skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down. (This may have to be done in batches, depending on the size on your chicken thighs, to avoid overcrowding the skillet.) Sprinkle the underside of the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken skin is golden brown, crispy and easily releases from the pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the white wine. Cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet, until the harsh alcohol smells burns off and the wine has slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the frozen onions and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and 2 tablespoons honey mustard. Stir the mixture until well combined and emulsified. Add the mushrooms and thyme leaves to the skillet and stir to coat the mushrooms in the mixture.
  • Turn the heat off. Nestle the chicken into the vegetable mixture. Add the remaining tablespoon honey mustard and tablespoon oil to a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Brush the tops of the chicken thighs with the honey mustard mixture.
  • Transfer the chicken to the oven and cook until the vegetables are browned and the chicken is 165 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Turn the oven off. Remove the chicken from the oven and add the frozen peas. Stir slightly to submerge them in the sauce. Return the skillet to the oven until the peas are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To serve, plate the chicken and vegetables and top with the pan sauce.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Baked and Roasted     Thighs

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mustard. Dijon mustard is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of mustard, such as whole-grain mustard or brown mustard. The type of mustard you use will affect the flavor of the sauce.
  • Use fresh apples. Fresh apples will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. This will give your dish a more complex flavor.
  • Sear the chicken thighs before baking them. This will help to brown the chicken and give it a crispy skin. You can sear the chicken thighs in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The white wine you use will also affect the flavor of the sauce. Choose a dry white wine that you enjoy drinking. A Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay are both good choices.
  • Add the cream at the end. Adding the cream at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from curdling.

Conclusion:

Mustard chicken thighs and apples in white wine and cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken thighs are tender and flavorful, the apples are sweet and tart, and the sauce is creamy and rich. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Here are some additional tips for making this dish:

  • Serve the chicken thighs with roasted potatoes or rice.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or thyme.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
