I thought I would take a second and post this recipe (which we made for
Michaelmas) here. It is very easy,
very yummy, and is an excellent fall/harvest meal.
Apple Chicken
- 6 skinless chicken thighs (I increased this to 8)
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups apple juice
- 1/3 cup dijon mustard
- 3 apples -- unpeeled, cored & sliced 1/2" thick
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions (I omitted since I forgot to buy some. Oops.)
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Heat oil in large skillet. Brown chicken over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Combine apple juice and mustard; pour over chicken. Cover; cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. Add apples, raisins and green onions. Cover; Cook 5-10 minutes longer. Place chicken and apples on a serving platter; keep warm. Gradually stir combined cornstarch and water into cider liquid. Cook and stir until thickened. Serve sauce over chicken and apples.
*I served it with Steamed Carrots and Garlic Angel hair pasta:

The recipe sounds good, but I'm wondering is it sweet tasting?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. The apples themselves are somewhat sweet, and honestly, most of my children won't eat the apples. They *LOVE* the chicken though. Next time I plan to only use one apple instead of three and maybe a bit more chicken for our growing family!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Apple chicken & Apple cake recipes - we made them tonight for an early celebration :-) and they were both wonderful! The chicken wasn't sweet; I used Granny Smith apples and they were very very tart. Might go with a milder apple next time.
