Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 medium gala or honey crisp apples cut into ¼ inch slices
  • 1 small red onion cut in half and sliced thinly
  • 1 ½ teaspoons herbs de Provence
  • ⅓ cup chicken stock
  • ½ cup Apple cider Apple juice or more chicken broth works well too
  • ¼ cup white wine optional
  • Pinch of coarse salt
  • Cracked black ground pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and pat dry thighs. Season both sides of chicken generously with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken and sear until nice skin has a nice golden color, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, apples, red onion slices, and herbs to the pan.
  • Season with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes stirring often.

  • Serve warm.
