Slow cooker recipe of the day... Apple Braised chicken breast
Apple Braised Chicken Breast-shared from Food&Wine
1 tbsp olive oil
2 turkey thighs(I did use 4 chicken breast)
salt and pepper
2 large shallots, thinly sliced OR 1 small onion and 2 tsp minced garlic
4 apples, peeled, quartered, cored
2 cups apple cidek
2 cups of broth
2 tsp cider vinegar(optional)
Preheat oven to 350. In an oven proof pot, heat oil.Season both sides of
the meat. Add in chicken/turkey skin side down into pot. Cook for about
8 mins until skin is golden and crisp. Remove meat from pan. Add in
shallots or garlic/onion. Cook for about 5 mins or until tender.
Add in apples, meat, broth, and cider. Bring to a boil, cover and place
in oven for 1.5 hours. Uncover and cook for 30 more minutes.
Remove meat from pan. Skim fat and add in vinegar. Slice meat and serve with apples and pan sauce.
**You can cook the apples for a bit before adding in the broth. I did
not as I didn't want mush apples and they cooked fine. I think by using
the breast it did dry out, I would highly recommend using a dark piece
of meat. It did smell amazing!! K really enjoyed it and the flavors were
great, just the meat seemed a bit dry to me. Although my friend did
like it and she used the dark meat. The recipe does say it will taste
better the next day, and it did! I used the leftover sauce/apples to
make an apple cheddar soup, which will be posted soon! This can easily
be finished off in the slow cooker!
