Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 apples (1 red, 1 green), cored and cut into wedges
8 medium shallots, quartered lengthwise
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, torn
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn the chicken and add the apples, shallots and sage to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium high and cook until the chicken is browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and continue to cook the apples and shallots, stirring, until golden, about 2 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Mix the chicken broth, maple syrup, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the skillet with the apples and shallots and boil until reduced by about three-quarters, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat, until cooked through, about 2 more minutes.

Tips:

  • For a thicker and more flavorful glaze, simmer the maple syrup, soy sauce, and spices in a saucepan until it reduces and thickens.
  • To prevent the chicken from burning, baste it with the glaze frequently while baking.
  • Serve the chicken with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
  • For a healthier version, use reduced-sodium soy sauce and bake the chicken instead of frying it.
