Indulge in the delightful symphony of flavors in our cider-braised chicken with berry sauce. This heartwarming dish combines the essence of fall with a medley of sweet and savory notes. Imagine tender chicken pieces enveloped in a rich cider-based braising liquid, infused with aromatic spices and herbs. As the chicken simmers, it absorbs the delectable flavors of the cider, creating a juicy and succulent masterpiece.
Accompanying the chicken is a captivating berry sauce, a vibrant explosion of flavors that perfectly complements the savory chicken. Fresh berries, such as tart cranberries or sweet blueberries, are simmered in a luscious sauce, releasing their natural juices and creating a symphony of colors and textures. The resulting sauce is a delightful balance of sweetness and acidity, adding a burst of freshness to each bite.
This culinary journey continues with two additional recipes that elevate the dining experience. A classic mashed potato recipe provides a creamy and comforting base for the chicken and sauce, while a simple yet elegant green salad adds a refreshing touch to the meal. Each recipe is carefully crafted to harmonize with the main course, creating a cohesive and unforgettable dining experience.

Steps:
- Preheat a medium to large skillet over medium-high heat, for about 1 minute or until the surface of the pan is hot. Add the oil and heat until rippling on the surface. Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the pan and cook until the meat is golden, about 4 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts, lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook until firm to the touch or an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, about 4 to 6 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest.
- Pour off any fat remaining in the skillet. Add the vinegar and deglaze over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the cider and the broth. Bring to a boil and cook until it thickens to form a sauce, about 6 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, lemon juice and thyme leaves. Return the chicken to the pan, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve.

CIDER BRAISED CHICKEN WITH BERRY SAUCE
This is based on Mark Bittman's "Chicken with cranberries and mushrooms" from his "Best Recipes in the World" cookbook. My husband made this, and it was adapted due to ingredients that we had on hand. You can use chicken breast instead of thighs. Sorry about the lack of a photo, we thought it smelled so good that we devoured it before thinking about the camera!

Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken with 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown chicken, skin side down first, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate, discarding oil.
- Wipe out skillet, then boil remaining ingredients until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and braise, covered, turning once, until chicken is just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter. Boil sauce to thicken if necessary. Whisk sauce if separated and season with salt, then pour over chicken.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: A whole chicken is best for this recipe, as it will give you more flavor and juiciness. If you are using chicken breasts or thighs, be sure to brown them well before braising.
- Use a good quality cider: The cider you use will greatly affect the flavor of the dish. Choose a cider that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
- Don't skimp on the berries: The berries add a delicious sweetness and tartness to the sauce. Use a variety of berries, such as cranberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
- Cook the chicken until it is fall-off-the-bone tender: This will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes. You can check the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice are all good options.
Conclusion:
Cider-braised chicken with berry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
