For optimal browning, ensure the skillet is thoroughly heated before adding the chicken. Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties to suit your taste preferences. Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji apples work particularly well. If the apples and onions begin to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium. A splash of dry white wine can be added to the skillet during the deglazing process for added depth of flavor. Garnish with fresh sage leaves or a drizzle of honey before serving for an elegant presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
02
StepSeason both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Place the chicken, skin-side down, in the hot skillet, ensuring there is at least 1 inch of space between each breast for even browning. (1 minute)
03
StepSear the chicken until the skin is deeply golden brown and crispy, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook for another 6 minutes, until browned on the other side. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate and set aside. (12 minutes)
04
StepPreheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
05
StepAdd the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Introduce the sliced apples and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften and caramelize, about 4 minutes. (4 minutes)
06
StepStir in the chopped sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Ensure the herbs and spices are evenly distributed. (1 minute)
07
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined. (2 minutes)
08
StepPour the broth mixture into the skillet with the seasoned apples and onions. Gently scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon to deglaze the skillet. (1 minute)
09
StepReturn the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them amongst the apples and onions. (1 minute)
10
StepTransfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (30 minutes)
