Description

Tender chicken braised in apple cider with sweet caramelized onions and aromatic herbs.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown chicken on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden, about 10-12 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in apple cider and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Return chicken to the skillet, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
