Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 Tbsp canola oil
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 2 apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick wedges
- 1/2 cup chopped shallots
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup apple cider

Instructions
- Sprinkle chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat canola oil, in large frying pan, over medium heat. Cook chicken about 8 to 10 minutes, turning over once. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Add honey, apples and shallots to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are browned, about 5 minutes.
