(Recipe of the Week) This one skillet apple c***r chicken is packed with flavor with the perfectly seasoned tender chicken and sweet crisp juicy apples in a sweet and savory sauce.

One Skillet Apple C***r Chicken

(adapted from: https://bit.ly/47LZBtp)

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
2 tablespoons ghee or butter
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup*
2 medium apples sliced, unpeeled (I used honey crisp)
1 small yellow onion diced
Generous pinches of sea salt and black pepper
1/2 cup fresh apple c***r
Fresh rosemary for garnish

Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.

In a small bowl, mix together the salt and all spices. Sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Add the oil to the hot skillet to coat, allow it to heat for 30 seconds then add the chicken thighs to the pan.
Cook for 5 minutes or until the first side is deep golden brown, then flip and cook for 5 more minutes or until cooked through, adjusting the heat down to medium if the chicken is browning too fast. Transfer the chicken to a plate while you prepare the sauce.
Lower the heat to medium and add the ghee or butter to the pan, gently swirling to coat. Add the apples and onions, syrup or sugar (if using*) and sprinkle the mixture with a generous pinch each of sea salt and black pepper.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Pour in the apple c***r and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Add the chicken back to the pan, coating in the sauce, and cook for another minute to heat through.
Remove from heat. Spoon the apple mixture over the chicken and garnish with fresh rosemary or other fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy! Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Note: Omit Maple Syrup to make this dish approved for the 30-Day Metabolic Comeback Challenge. Find all recipes of the Week on our Pinterest boards: https://bit.ly/3VhrcuT
