APPLE-BRAISED CHICKEN



Apple-Braised Chicken image

Juicy chicken meets a tart apple, and they fall for each other in a skillet. It's an autumnal love story. Serve on a bed of couscous or brown rice (microwaved is just fine). Apples will last a week (tops) if you leave them out on a countertop. But in your fridge's crisper drawer? They'll stay fresh and delicious for about a month.

CHICKEN NORMANDY (CHICKEN LEGS BRAISED IN APPLE CIDER & BRANDY)



Chicken Normandy (Chicken Legs Braised in Apple Cider & Brandy) image

Chicken Normandy, also known as 'Poulet á lá Normande,' is a super delicious, fall, French Chicken dish. It is whole chicken legs braised in apple cider and brandy; then cooked with onions, garlic, and herbs, and finally finished off with cream, dijon mustard, and fried apples. It's luxurious, has that definite "Wow" factor both in look and in taste - yet it's easy to make.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tbsp Butter (unsalted, to fry apples)
2 whole Apples* (see notes) (peeled, cored, sliced)
4 Whole Chicken Leg Quarters
pinch of Salt (to season each chicken leg)
2 tbsp Butter (unsalted, to sear the chicken legs)
1 Yellow Onion (medium size, sliced )
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Dry Thyme
1/2 cup Brandy ((ideally Apple Brandy))
2 cups Apple Cider ((Claudy Apple Juice))
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 springs Fresh Thyme (chopped)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Fry the apples: Peel, quarter, remove seeds and slice the apples. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet, add the apples in one layer and fry them until golden brown, flipping a few times. Once cooked on both sides, remove apple slices and set them aside (about 5-7 minutes)
  • Sear the Chicken: To the same skillet add another 2 tablespoons of butter; season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and sprinkle with flour. Sear the chicken on the hot pan for 5-7 minutes on each side until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Then remove the chicken from a pan and set aside.
  • Prepare the braising liquid: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. To the same pan add sliced onions. Sauté the onions on medium heat for approximately 5-7, add garlic and dry thyme and cook for another minute. Deglaze the pan with brandy and cook until half of it has evaporated, then add apple cider (cloudy apple juicer) and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Braise the chicken: Add the chicken (skin side up) back to the skillet, cover the pan and move to the hot oven. Bake the chicken for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the pan from the oven using heavy-duty oven mittens.
  • Finish up the sauce: Remove your chicken onto a plate and finish up the sauce. First, add heavy cream and then Dijon mustard and mix well. Cook it for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens out. Add fried apples, fresh thyme, and chicken back to the skillet (to soak up some of the sauce).
  • Serve: To serve place the sauce onto the plate, make sure each plate has onions, apples, and enough sauce to dunk in. Place a chicken leg on top of the sauce and serve. Enjoy!

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN AND APPLES



Honey-Mustard Chicken and Apples image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut into large chunks
2 cooking apples (such as Cortland), cut into chunks
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 to 3 tablespoons honey mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 to 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until golden, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes, then transfer to a plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
  • Add the onion and apples to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Mix the broth with the mustard, then add to the skillet and bring to a boil. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, in the skillet. Transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Mix the butter and flour to form a paste. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken, apples and onion to plates. Bring the pan juices to a simmer, whisk in about half of the butter-flour mixture and boil to thicken, 2 minutes. Continue to cook, adding more of the butter-flour mixture as needed to make a slightly thick gravy. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley.

CHICKEN WITH APPLES AND BRANDY



Chicken With Apples and Brandy image

Use brandy or calvados for this recipe. If you prefer to cook without brandy..just leave it out. For a gluten-free version- use gf stock and gf flour ( I use a fine brown or regular rice flour and Massell brand stock). If you dont have a non-stick frypan you may need to use a little more oil. I like to serve with veges and rice on the side Calvados is an apple flavoured brandy from the Calvados region of France
