Cider Chicken With Apples And Onions Recipes

APPLE CIDER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, add to pan and sear until golden, about 4 minutes each side. Remove chicken from pan, and set aside. Add remaining butter and onion, apple, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Saute until apple begins to get color and onions soften, about 6 minutes. Add flour and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Nestle chicken back into pan, add cider, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes.

CHICKEN WITH APPLE, ONION AND CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and coat in flour, shaking off the excess. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pan. Place the chicken smooth-side down in the skillet and cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish and bake until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the red onion and apple to the skillet, along with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil if the pan is dry. Increase the heat to high and cook, tossing, until the onion has wilted slightly and the apple is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar with a wooden spoon, scraping up the browned bits from the pan. Let the mixture boil until the vinegar becomes syrupy, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the broth reduces by half. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and whisk in the butter.
• Remove the chicken from the oven; add any collected juices to the pan sauce. Divide the chicken among plates and spoon the apple, onion and sauce over each piece. Sprinkle with the parsley.

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
• Add butter to the reserved bacon fat and cook over medium heat until melted. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the breasts. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
• Add apple, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in chicken broth, apple cider, rosemary, and lemon juice.
