SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH APPLE, FENNEL AND ONION



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Apple, Fennel and Onion image

Chicken thighs are roasted with classic fall ingredients for a quick, flavorful sheet-pan supper. The toasted fennel seeds subtly amplify the anise flavor of the roasted fennel and play nicely with the apples and onions. Look for an apple on the tart side as it will naturally sweeten as it cooks in the oven. If you want to use bone-in chicken breasts you can, just make sure to cut the cooking time by a few minutes so they don't dry out. Serve with a bright, bitter green salad flecked with blue cheese and toasted walnuts.

Provided by Colu Henry

Categories     dinner, weekday, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 1/2 to 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, patted dry
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium fennel bulb, tough outer leaves removed, cored and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 tart apple, such as Mutsu (Crispin) or Granny Smith, halved, cored and cut into 8 wedges
4 sprigs rosemary
Flaky salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a small skillet, toast the fennel seeds over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pound into a coarse powder with a mortar and pestle or, alternatively, roughly chop. In a large bowl, toss together the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the fennel seeds and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Place the onion, fennel and apple slices on the sheet pan. Toss with the remaining olive oil and season well with salt. Spread in an even layer. Add the chicken skin side up on top of the vegetables and lay the rosemary (distributing evenly) on top of the chicken. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the onions, fennel and apples are softened and have begun to caramelize at the edge of the pan.
  • Turn the oven to broil and move the oven rack to sit right below it. Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs and broil the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes until the skin of the chicken is crispy and golden. Season with flaky salt.

CHICKEN WITH APPLE, ONION AND CIDER SAUCE



Chicken with Apple, Onion and Cider Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 38m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Place the chicken in the skillet smooth-side down 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 onion and apple to the skillet, along with 1 tablespoon oil, if the pan is dry, and increase the heat to high. Cook, tossing, until the onion has wilted slightly and the apple is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the pan. Let the mixture boil until the vinegar becomes syrupy, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and return 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 sauce. Divide the chicken among four plates and spoon the apple, onion and pan sauce over each piece. Sprinkle with the parsley.

Yield Makes 16 patties

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for cooking sausage
1 small onion, finely diced
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 pound ground chicken
1/3 cup fresh sage leaves, shredded
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a small saute pan over medium heat, and cook onion until translucent and soft, about 3 minutes. Add apples and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
  • Combine chicken with onion-apple mixture and remaining ingredients, mixing with your hands. Form into 1 1/2-inch-round patties, and chill until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a little oil in a medium ovenproof saute pan, and brown patties over medium-low heat 2 minutes on each side; transfer pan to oven, and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For this recipe, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn are recommended. They hold their shape better during cooking and provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in soggy skin.
  • Cook the chicken until golden brown: Sear the chicken over medium-high heat until it is golden brown on all sides. This will help to lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Add the apples and cider: Once the chicken is browned, add the apples and apple cider to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  • Season to taste: Before serving, season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

This apple chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apples and savory chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
