Best 5 Spiced Chicken With Apples Recipes

ROASTED SPICED CHICKEN AND APPLES

Steps:

• Place the chicken breast-side up in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Season inside and out with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and the Baharat. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to overnight; this will help the skin get crispy!
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the onion, 4 sprigs of thyme and 2 sprigs of rosemary. Scatter the apples and remaining sprigs of thyme and rosemary around the chicken, sprinkle with the sugar and a pinch of salt and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast the chicken until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 1 hour. Let the chicken sit for 10 minutes.
• Discard the herb sprigs. Add a splash of vinegar to the apples and toss to coat. Carve the chicken and serve with the apples on the side.
• In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the coriander seeds, black pepper seeds, cumin seeds, cloves and cardamom seeds, stirring often, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and blend. Stir in the paprika, cinnamon and nutmeg.

SPICED CHICKEN AND RICE WITH APPLES AND RAISINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
• Mix the chicken thighs (take skin off if not already off) in a large bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1.5 teaspoons of the kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, the cumin (1 teaspoon), and the cinnamon (1 teaspoon) until well coated. Set aside.
• Add the basmati rice (1.5 cups), the diced onion, the diced apple, the raisins (1/2 cup), the slivered almonds (1/2 cup), and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the prepared baking dish. Stir to coat in the oil.
• Pour the chicken stock on top of the rice mixture. Place the chicken thighs on top.
• Cover dish with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, until chicken is starting to cook and liquid underneath is bubbling. Remove foil; bake for another 20 minutes, or until chicken is completely cooked (you can check that it's 165 degrees with a meat thermometer if you wish).
• Remove the chicken thighs and place on a plate. Stir the rice mixture to fluff up a bit and distribute all the juices.
• Serve.

SAUTEED CHICKEN AND APPLES WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Add onion and apple slices and saute for 4-5 minutes, until softened and slightly browned.
• Meanwhile, season the chicken strips with 2 teaspoons of rosemary, salt and black pepper.
• Push the onion and apple slices to the sides of the pan and add chicken breast strips to the middle. Brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes total. (If your pan is too crowded, do this in batches so you can properly brown the chicken.)
• Add vinegar and remaining teaspoon of rosemary then cover the pan, reduce heat to medium and cook until chicken is cooked through, 3-5 more minutes.
• Serve chicken and apples with extra pan juices and enjoy!

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH APPLE, FENNEL AND ONION

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a small skillet, toast the fennel seeds over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pound into a coarse powder with a mortar and pestle or, alternatively, roughly chop. In a large bowl, toss together the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the fennel seeds and season well with salt and pepper.
• Place the onion, fennel and apple slices on the sheet pan. Toss with the remaining olive oil and season well with salt. Spread in an even layer. Add the chicken skin side up on top of the vegetables and lay the rosemary (distributing evenly) on top of the chicken. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the onions, fennel and apples are softened and have begun to caramelize at the edge of the pan.
• Turn the oven to broil and move the oven rack to sit right below it. Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs and broil the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes until the skin of the chicken is crispy and golden. Season with flaky salt.

SKILLET APPLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken 5 minutes.
• Gradually stir the apples into the skillet, and continue cooking 15 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear and apples are tender. Thoroughly mix in the garlic salt, pepper, pumpkin pie spice, and tarragon.
