• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 8 medium boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 4 medium Apples, raw
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.66666668653488 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon herbes de Provence

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine apple juice, white wine, Dijon mustard, garlic, ginger, and herbes de Provence in a small container; set aside.

Step 2

Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and brown chicken thighs, about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle onion slices over chicken thighs, add apple slices, and pour cooking liquid on top. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer.

Step 3

Simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken, apples, and onions to a serving dish and keep warm.

Step 4

Bring liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow liquid to boil and reduce down to about 1 1/2 cups, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and cook until sauce has thickened and is well blended.

Step 5

Pour sauce over chicken, apples, and onions and serve.
