This one-pan dish is filled with the flavors of fall. Maple syrup adds sweetness and depth to the tangy cider-infused glaze that coats tender pan-roasted chicken, apple wedges and shallots.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 apples (1 red, 1 green), cored and cut into wedges
- 8 medium shallots, quartered lengthwise
- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, torn
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the chicken and add the apples, shallots and sage to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium high and cook until the chicken is browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and continue to cook the apples and shallots, stirring, until golden, about 2 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze: Mix the chicken broth, maple syrup, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the skillet with the apples and shallots and boil until reduced by about three-quarters, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat, until cooked through, about 2 more minutes.

Reviews
So delicious. My husband loved it too.
Needed to put it in the oven to make sure chicken cooked through thoroughly, otherwise it was delicious!
Mushy apples and not a lot of flavor ☹️
Great one-pan fall meal! Easy.
I should have made this on a cast iron skillet. Apples were soggy and the sauce didn’t quite evaporate into a glaze.
Amazing! It was so easy and quick. It taste delicious!
Tasted great! My whole family loved it!!!
Absolutely delicious. We, also, doubled the sauce and increased cook time. This is a great meal for a family with kids (at least our kids love the flavors!).
I was surprised this recipe got so many good reviews, because I thought it was quite mediocre. The flavor was too sweet for me (although the sage/shallots/apple cider did temper it), and the cooked apples were not for me (not a fan of soggy food). Maybe it would be better fresh; I had it reheated.
