envy™ Apple Braised Chicken Thighs
INGREDIENTS
- 4 chicken thighs, skin on, bone in
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- Salt and pepper as needed
- 2 envy™ apples, large diced
- 1 yellow onion, large diced
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 cups chicken broth
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius
- Dry the chicken thighs with a paper towel
- Generously season the thighs with salt and pepper
- Heat the pot over high heat and let preheat for at least 1 minute
- Add canola oil
- Using the tongs, carefully place chicken thighs skin down and allow to sear for 4 minutes
- Flip, sear the other side for 4 minutes
- Remove the chicken thighs to a paper towel lined plate
- Add the onions and envy™ apples to the hot oil and sauté for 4 minutes
- Add the chicken thighs back to the pot and add the garlic and broth. Note - you should add enough broth so that the chicken is covered about ¾ of the way up with broth, but not completely covered. Depending on the size of your pot, you may need more/less broth than indicated in the ingredients
- Bring the broth just to a simmer then cover with the lid and put in the oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove the thighs from the broth and shred off the bone
- Pour the braising liquid into a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and spoon over the thighs! Note - it will make a lot of sauce, so feel free to cool, add to a sandwich bag and freeze flat to use again later
