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.
  • Pour sauce over chicken, apples, and onions and serve.

Not bad, not bad at all. The chicken came out well-cooked and the cream and wine provided plenty of great taste. However, I found the apple to be a little too overpowering for my taste. Next time, I'd probably use a different fruit or maybe even leav

This recipe was absolutely delicious! The chicken thighs were juicy and flavorful, and the combination of the sharp Dijon and the sweet apple was perfect. Served over egg-noolde, it was a meal the whole family loved! I will definitely be making this
