How to Make Skillet Chicken with Baked Apples

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Honey adds sweetness with a different flavor profile.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and works well for cooking.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth can reduce sodium and calories.

apples

🥗Healthier: pears

💰Cheaper: frozen apples

Pears offer a similar texture and flavor.

Peel and core the apples, then make thin slices 3/4 of the way down.

Place the sliced apples in a baking dish.

In a bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and salt; whisk to combine.

Spoon the glaze over the apples, reserving a little for later.

Bake the apples for about 25 minutes or until cooked but still a little firm.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan.

Add the skinless chicken thighs to the pan.

Whisk together a glaze with butter, brown sugar, cider vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, salt, and pepper.

Once the chicken is browned on both sides, spoon the glaze over the chicken and cook until done.

When the apples are cooked, finish them with the rest of the apple glaze.
