Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut into large chunks
2 cooking apples (such as Cortland), cut into chunks
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 to 3 tablespoons honey mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 to 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until golden, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes, then transfer to a plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
  • Add the onion and apples to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Mix the broth with the mustard, then add to the skillet and bring to a boil. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, in the skillet. Transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Mix the butter and flour to form a paste. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken, apples and onion to plates. Bring the pan juices to a simmer, whisk in about half of the butter-flour mixture and boil to thicken, 2 minutes. Continue to cook, adding more of the butter-flour mixture as needed to make a slightly thick gravy. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley.

CHICKEN AND APPLE CURRY



Chicken and Apple Curry image

Categories     Chicken     Ginger     Rice     Steam     Apple     Curry     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons salted butter
a 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
2 ribs of celery, chopped fine
1 large onion, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Granny Smith apples
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
finely chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
steamed rice (recipe follows) as an accompaniment
For steamed rice:
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups unconverted long-grain rice
apple ginger chutney as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a flameproof casserole heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in it brown the chicken, patted dry and seasoned with salt, and transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon to a plate. Pour off the fat from the casserole, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and in it cook the celery, the onion, and the garlic over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened. Add the apples, cored and chopped, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, the curry powder, the cinnamon, and the cumin and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the broth and the chicken with any juices that have accumulated on the plate, bring the liquid to a boil, and cook the chicken mixture, covered, at a bare simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon to a serving plate, boil the vegetable mixture, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly, and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken and top it with the parsley. Serve the curry with the rice and the chutney.
  • To make steamed rice:
  • In a large saucepan bring 5 quarts water to a boil with the salt. Sprinkle in the rice, stirring until the water returns to a boil, and boil it for 10 minutes. Drain the rice in a large colander and rinse it. Set the colander over a large saucepan of boiling water and steam the rice, covered with a kitchen towel and the lid, for 15 minutes, or until it is fluffy and dry.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked chicken. Rotisserie chicken is a great option.
  • If you don't have curry powder, you can make your own by combining ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, and garam masala.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste. If you like it spicy, add more. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • Coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to the dish. If you don't have coconut milk, you can use heavy cream or whole milk instead.
  • Apples and bananas add a sweet and tangy flavor to the curry. If you don't like apples or bananas, you can substitute them with other fruits, such as pineapple, mango, or peaches.
  • Serve the curry over rice, quinoa, or noodles. You can also serve it with naan bread or roti.

Conclusion:

Curried chicken with apples and bananas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The curry is flavorful and creamy, and the apples and bananas add a unique sweetness and tanginess. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
