This main dish is fast enough for a weeknight, but "fancy" enough for guests! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are quickly browned, then simmered with apples and onions in a flavorful liquid. Simply remove the apples and onions at the end, let the liquid reduce, add a little cream, and voila, there is a beautiful sauce! We enjoyed this recipe with white rice, steamed broccoli, and a crusty baguette.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup apple juice

  • ⅔ cup Pinot Grigio wine

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon herbes de Provence

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 8 medium boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ cup onion slices

  • 4 medium Apples, raw

  • ⅔ cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. Combine apple juice, white wine, Dijon mustard, garlic, ginger, and herbes de Provence in a small container; set aside.

  2. Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and brown chicken thighs, about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle onion slices over chicken thighs, add apple slices, and pour cooking liquid on top. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer.

  3. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken, apples, and onions to a serving dish and keep warm.

  4. Bring liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow liquid to boil and reduce down to about 1 1/2 cups, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and cook until sauce has thickened and is well blended.

  5. Pour sauce over chicken, apples, and onions and serve.
