How to Make Apple Braised Chicken
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat.
- In a medium bowl, toss 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Gently pat off any excess flour.
- Place the chicken in the hot skillet and brown well on both sides for about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet.
- Sauté the onion, stirring often, until tender and lightly browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and diced; 1 cup of apple cider; 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth; 1 teaspoon of salt; and 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger. Return the chicken to the skillet.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the apples are tender.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken, onions, and apples to a serving dish. Keep warm.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2-3 tablespoons of pan juices.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the remaining pan juices, whisking constantly.
- Simmer for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
- Yields 4 servings (1 chicken breast and about 3/4 cup of apple-onion mixture per serving).
