Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1.5kg chicken thigh fillets, halved
-
Ground nutmeg
-
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
-
1 large brown onion, finely chopped
-
125ml (1/2 cup) dry apple cider
-
125ml (1/2 cup) Massel chicken style liquid stock
-
80ml (1/3 cup) apple cider vinegar
-
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 tablespoon plain flour
-
2-3 tablespoons water
-
2 Granny Smith apples, extra, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
-
125g (1/2 cup) sour cream
Method
-
1Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat the oil and half the butter in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook one-third of the chicken for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a large casserole dish. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining chicken.
-
2Reduce heat to medium. Add the apple to the frying pan and cook for 2 minutes each side or until light golden. Place over the chicken in the dish. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook onion in pan, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Add to the dish. Cover and bake for 40 minutes.
-
3Meanwhile, place the cider, stock, vinegar and thyme in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Combine the flour and a little water in a small bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the cider mixture, whisking constantly, until well combined. Stir until thick. Simmer for 3 minutes.
-
4Heat remaining butter in the frying pan over medium heat. Add the extra apple and cook for 3-4 minutes each side or until golden.
-
5Add the sour cream to the cider mixture and stir over medium heat for 1 minute or until the sauce is just heated through.
-
6Transfer the chicken and apple mixture to a serving platter. Pour over the sauce and top with the apple rings.
