Chicken in Applesauce

If you are in a hurry to prepare lunch for your family like me today, here is the perfect dish!  Easy and quick to prepare - tastes great when served with whipped potato or rice!  My two boys gave their thumbs up!

Ingredients (serves 2):
4 or 5 chicken thighs
1 big onion, to be peeled & cut into wedges
2 apples, to be peeled, deseeded & cut into wedges
300 ml apple juice (you may add apple cider if you wish)
1 tsp instant chicken stock granules
2 tbsp oil
salt & pepper to taste

Method:
Remove fat and skin from chicken meat.  Wash and dry with kitchen paper.  Then, season with salt and pepper.  Heat oil in a pan over medium/high heat.  Fry chicken meat until both sides are browned.  Remove to a plate.

Add onion wedges to pan and stir-fry over high heat for two minutes.  Then, add apple wedges and stir-fry until almost golden.

Pour apple juice and add chicken stock granules.  Simmer on high heat for 5 minutes.

Add chicken pieces to pan and let it simmer with the lid on for another 10 minutes or until chicken is half-cooked.  Remove lid and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens.  Check seasoning.

Serve hot with whipped potato or rice!

Bon Appetit!
