Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet, skin-side down, leaving at least 1 inch between the breasts to ensure even cooking and browning. Cook until skin is browned, about 6 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 6 minutes until browned on both sides. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and stir in apples and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Season with sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper; stir to combine.

Pour broth mixture in with the seasoned apples and onions and gently scrape browned bits from the bottom using a wooden spoon. Slide chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them between onions and apples.
- Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

AUTUMN ESSENTIALS: RUSTIC CHICKEN SOUP/STEW
When the nights begin getting longer, and the temperature begins to drop, a good hearty soup or stew is the outright quintessential comfort food...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your ingredients.
- 3. Melt the butter in a saucepan, over medium heat.
- 4. When the foaming subsides, add the wine, lemon juice and 1/2 cup of chicken stock.
- 5. Chef's Note: This is a standard base for many hearty soups and stews. If you don't want to use the white wine, you can always substitute an equal amount of white grape juice.
- 6. Bring to a simmer, and allow the liquid to slowly reduce by half, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- 7. Mix in the cream.
- 8. Add the remainder of the chicken stock.
- 9. Chef's Note: If you are using store-bought chicken stock, or (heaven forbid) broth. Then, when you season the soup watch the salt.
- 10. Add the flour and water to a small bowl, and whisk together.
- 11. Add to the pot, and simmer until it begins to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- 12. Add the carrots, and continue to simmer for 10 - 12 minutes.
- 13. Add the onions, celery, , and then bring the pot back up to a simmer.
- 14. Continue to simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
- 15. Add the chicken, and then let it warm up with the soup, about 5 minutes.
- 16. Chef's Note: Although I am a big fan of brining chicken breasts, for this recipe, don't. It isn't necessary, and it will add unwanted additional salt.
- 17. Chef's Tip: If you want to add an additional level of flavor to this dish, then salt & pepper the chicken breasts, and sauté them in a bit of olive oil and sweet butter. When they are cooked, tear them into rustic pieces, and pour the liquid from the sauté pan into the pot, when you add the chicken stock in step 8.
- 18. VARIATIONS ON A THEME
- 19. Dumplings: After you add the chicken, drop your dumplings on the top of the soup, cover, and allow to slowly simmer, for 10 to 12 minutes. Here's an excellent dumplings recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/other-bread/autumn-essentials-herb-cheddar-dumplings.html
- 20. Pasta: Get you favorite egg noodles and stir into the soup. Follow package directions as to how long the noodles need to cook. If you are using homemade egg noodles (YUM) they will only need about 3 to 5 minutes in the liquid before they are cooked. Here's an excellent egg noodle recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/master-recipe-egg-noodle-dough.html?p=4
- 21. Chef's Note: If you don't want to make your own dumplings, or pasta, no worries. Just pick up your favorite brand at the local grocer. However, if you take the time to make homemade (it really isn't that difficult), you will be glad that you did.
- 22. PLATE/PRESENT
- 23. Serve in nice bowls with a few friends. Enjoy.
- 24. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips for Making Autumn Chicken
- Use fresh, high-quality chicken. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to lock in the flavor and juices of the chicken.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Baste the chicken occasionally with the pan juices. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides.
