Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Set the chicken aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Remove from heat.
In the bottom of your slow cooker, layer the sliced apples and the cooked onions.
Add the minced garlic and lay the rosemary sprigs over the apples and onions.
Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the apple-onion mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Remove the rosemary sprigs before serving. Serve the chicken warm with the cooked apples and onions, and spoon the flavorful broth over the top for extra flavor.
