Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and thickly sliced
¼ cup finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup apple cider
½ cup unsalted chicken broth
1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream

4 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin on chicken thighs

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.

Apple Cider Chicken image

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 Vidalia onion, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch wedges
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups apple cider

Steps:

  • Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, add to pan and sear until golden, about 4 minutes each side. Remove chicken from pan, and set aside. Add remaining butter and onion, apple, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Saute until apple begins to get color and onions soften, about 6 minutes. Add flour and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Nestle chicken back into pan, add cider, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute it with white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
  • For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the simmering sauce and cook until thickened.
  • Serve the chicken and mushroom sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite pasta.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or chives for added flavor and color.
