A warm, flavorful chicken dish featuring tender thighs in a sweet apple cider sauce, served with a refreshing autumn slaw.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 head of green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet.
  2. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Pour in the apple cider, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and honey. Stir well and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
