Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin on chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced
1 cup apple cider
½ cup chicken stock
½ tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
½ teaspoon salt
2 medium apples, sliced
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a deep oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs to the hot oil and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  • Add sliced onions to the skillet and saute until they just start to brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in apple cider and chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Stir in thyme and salt. Simmer until the onions are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • Add chicken back to the skillet and spoon some sauce over the top. Arrange sliced apples around the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove skillet from the oven and carefully uncover. Transfer chicken from the skillet to a plate and keep warm. Whisk heavy cream and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir gently into the sauce in the skillet. Place chicken back into the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
  • Return skillet to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes more. Serve chicken and apples with the sauce.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH APPLE, FENNEL AND ONION



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Apple, Fennel and Onion image

Chicken thighs are roasted with classic fall ingredients for a quick, flavorful sheet-pan supper. The toasted fennel seeds subtly amplify the anise flavor of the roasted fennel and play nicely with the apples and onions. Look for an apple on the tart side as it will naturally sweeten as it cooks in the oven. If you want to use bone-in chicken breasts you can, just make sure to cut the cooking time by a few minutes so they don't dry out. Serve with a bright, bitter green salad flecked with blue cheese and toasted walnuts.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 1/2 to 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, patted dry
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium fennel bulb, tough outer leaves removed, cored and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 tart apple, such as Mutsu (Crispin) or Granny Smith, halved, cored and cut into 8 wedges
4 sprigs rosemary
Flaky salt, for serving

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.

Nutritional Benefits

Apple n onion chicken recipes offer a number of nutritional benefits, making them a popular choice for those who want to eat healthy but still enjoy flavorful and satisfying meals.

When combined together, these ingredients create a dish that is both filling and nutritious.

Cooking Techniques

To make slow cooker apple n onion chicken, simply combine chicken breasts or thighs with sliced apples and onions, along with seasonings of your choice. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is tender and falling apart.

Another option is to cook the chicken on the stovetop, which can be quicker but requires more hands-on attention. To make stovetop apple n onion chicken, start by searing the chicken in a skillet until browned on both sides. Remove the chicken and add sliced apples and onions to the pan, cooking until tender.

  • Cinnamon and nutmeg, for a sweet and spicy flavor.
  • Garlic and thyme, for a more savory and herbaceous taste.

  • Balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, for a tart and sweet glaze.

You can also vary the type of apple and onion you use, depending on what is in season or what you have available.

When it comes to making chicken recipes, apple and onion can add a unique flavor twist to the dish. Whether you prefer baked, grilled, or sautéed chicken, incorporating these two ingredients can provide a sweet and savory taste that your taste buds will surely appreciate.

Tip 1: Choosing the Right Apples and Onions

When choosing apples and onions for your apple n onion chicken recipe, it's important to select ones that complement each other well. For instance, you'll want to choose apples that are tart or semi-tart to balance the sweetness of the onions. As for onions, opting for a sweet onion like Vidalia or Walla Walla can provide a sweeter flavor profile that balances out the tartness of the apples.

Tip 2: Preparing the Apples and Onions

Properly preparing the apples and onions for your apple n onion chicken recipe is crucial to ensure that they cook evenly and retain their flavor. When chopping the onions, aim for uniform slices or dices, and be sure to remove any brown or damaged parts. When it comes to apples, peeling and coring them before slicing or dicing is important to prevent any unwanted texture in the final dish. Additionally, slicing them into thin, uniform pieces can help ensure that they cook evenly with the chicken.

Tip 3: Marinating the Chicken

Marinating chicken before cooking it can help infuse it with flavor and tenderize the meat. For an apple n onion chicken recipe, consider using a marinade that incorporates both apple and onion juices, as well as a mix of herbs and spices like thyme, garlic, and paprika. Allowing the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour can help enhance the overall flavor profile of the dish.

Tip 4: Sautéing the Apples and Onions Separately

When cooking apples and onions for your apple n onion chicken recipe, it's important to sauté them separately to ensure that they cook evenly and retain their individual flavors. Start by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to become translucent. Remove them from the pan and set aside. Next, add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and add the apples. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and develop a bit of color. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Tip 5: Timing is Key

Timing is key when cooking a chicken recipe with apples and onions. Depending on the cooking method you choose, you'll want to keep a close eye on the dish to prevent overcooking or undercooking the chicken. For baked chicken, set a timer and check the internal temperature of the chicken at regular intervals to ensure that it reaches the appropriate temperature (165°F). For grilled chicken, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, and remove it from the grill once it's cooked through.

Tip 6: Garnish with Fresh Herbs

One final tip for making the perfect apple n onion chicken recipe is to garnish it with fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or thyme. Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs to the dish before serving can help enhance the overall flavor profile and create a visually appealing presentation.
Conclusion
Creating a delicious apple n onion chicken recipe requires a bit of preparation and attention to detail, but the end result is well worth the effort. By selecting the right ingredients, preparing them properly, and cooking the dish with care, you can create a savory and sweet chicken dish that's sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So, put these tips to use in your next apple n onion chicken recipe, and see how delicious this flavor combination can be!
