Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season 4 chicken thighs with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the chicken to the skillet, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for another 1 minute.
Pour in 1 cup of apple cider and 1 cup of chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
Add 2 tablespoons of honey and mix well.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up.
Add the sliced apples around the chicken.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the skillet and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the chicken with the apples and onions, drizzling the sauce over the top.

Notes

For a more robust flavor, opt for bone-in chicken thighs over boneless.
Try using apple juice instead of apple cider for a sweeter profile.
Enhance with a touch of red pepper flakes before serving for a hint of spice.
