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.

Apple pan chicken is a delicious and easy recipe that combines the flavors of apple with savory chicken. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion. And the best part is that it’s easy to customize with your favorite ingredients to add your own unique twist.

How to Make Apple Pan Chicken

The basic recipe for apple pan chicken involves a few simple steps. First, you’ll need to sauté some onions and garlic in a frying pan until they’re translucent. Then, you’ll add some thinly sliced apples and cook them until they’re slightly soft.

Next, you’ll add your chicken – either boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins – to the pan with the apples and onions. Cook the chicken until it’s browned on both sides and cooked through, then remove it from the pan and set it aside.

In the same pan, you’ll make a quick and easy sauce by combining some chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and dijon mustard. Cook the sauce for a few minutes until it thickens slightly, then pour it over the chicken and apples.

Customizing Your Apple Pan Chicken Recipe

The beauty of apple pan chicken is that it’s easy to customize to your liking. Here are a few ideas for how you can add your own unique twist to this delicious recipe:

1. Change up the seasoning

The basic recipe for apple pan chicken calls for a simple combination of salt and pepper, but you can easily change up the seasoning to suit your tastes. For example, you might try adding some dried thyme or rosemary to the pan when sautéing the onions and garlic, or sprinkle some smoked paprika or cayenne pepper over the chicken before cooking it.

2. Use different types of apples

The type of apple you use in your apple pan chicken recipe can have a big impact on the flavor. For a sweeter dish, opt for a honeycrisp or fuji apple. For a more tart flavor, choose a granny smith apple. And for a more complex flavor profile, try using a combination of different types of apples.

3. Add some veggies

While apples and chicken are delicious on their own, you can also add some veggies to your apple pan chicken recipe to make it even more nutritious and filling. Some great options include sliced carrots, diced sweet potatoes, or even some kale or spinach. Just be sure to cook them in the pan along with the apples and onions so they soften up and take on some of the delicious flavors.

Conclusion

Apple pan chicken is a versatile and delicious recipe that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for a quick weeknight meal or a fancy dinner party dish, this recipe can be customized to suit your tastes and preferences.

Apple pan chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any weeknight dinner. It is a dish that is packed with flavor and texture, something that your taste buds are sure to relish. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this dish can be prepared with ease. In this article, we will provide you with some valuable tips that will help you make the perfect apple pan chicken recipe.

Tip 1: Choose the right chicken

When making apple pan chicken, it is essential to choose the right type of chicken. You can use either boneless or bone-in chicken, depending on your preference. However, it is important to ensure that the chicken is fresh and of good quality. You can purchase chicken from a local butcher or supermarket.

Tip 2: Use the right pan

The key to making great apple pan chicken is to use the right pan. A cast-iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan is ideal for this recipe. It is important to use a pan that can withstand high heat, as this will ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and adequately.

Tip 3: Season your chicken

Seasoning your chicken is crucial when making apple pan chicken. Using salt and pepper is a must, but you can also use other herbs and spices to add flavor. Paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme are excellent choices. Be sure to apply the seasoning to both sides of the chicken.

Tip 4: Preheat your pan

Before adding the chicken to the pan, it is essential to preheat the pan. This will ensure that the chicken sears properly and develops a nice golden brown crust. Heating the pan over medium-high heat is ideal.

Tip 5: Brown the chicken

Browning the chicken is an essential step when making apple pan chicken. This step not only adds flavor but also ensures that the chicken is cooked through. To brown the chicken, you should cook it for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a nice golden brown color.

Tip 6: Add the apples

Adding apples is what sets this dish apart from other chicken recipes. Sliced apples are added to the pan along with the chicken. It is important to choose apples that are firm and tart, such as Granny Smith apples. As the chicken cooks, the apples release their juices, adding a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish.

Tip 7: Add liquid

Adding liquid is necessary when making apple pan chicken. The liquid helps to deglaze the pan and create a flavorful sauce. Chicken broth, apple cider, or white wine are excellent choices. Pour the liquid into the pan and scrape the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Tip 8: Cover and simmer

Cover the pan with a lid and allow the chicken to simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and the apples are soft and tender. The sauce will also thicken and become more flavorful.

Tip 9: Thicken the sauce

If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry. Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add it to the sauce. Stir until it thickens and becomes glossy.

Tip 10: Garnish and serve

Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish. Serve the apple pan chicken hot with a side of vegetables or starch, such as mashed potatoes or roasted brussels sprouts.

Conclusion

Making apple pan chicken is easy and straightforward. With these valuable tips, you can make the perfect apple pan chicken recipe that is sure to impress your family and friends. Remember to choose quality chicken, use the right pan, season your chicken, preheat your pan, brown your chicken, add the apples, add liquid, cover and simmer, thicken the sauce, garnish and serve. With these tips, you’ll be on your way to making a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion.
