Chicken fried with apples in a frying pan
I simply cook chicken with apples in a frying pan without any special problems. First, I simmer the carcass under the lid, and then I remove it and let the meat brown a little.
I salted and peppered everything and at the end I put the apples in the frying pan. The dish is prepared very quickly, simply, and turns out very juicy and very tasty.
Moreover, I often make such a roast for the New Year holidays. I place the pieces of meat on a large dish, arrange the stewed apples in a circle and decorate with herbs. It turns out very solemn, beautiful, and, most importantly, simple and fast! This means more time is left for fun and New Year's holidays.
- 6 chicken thighs;
- 2 green apples;
- 60 ml oil;
- salt pepper.
Wash the chicken thighs thoroughly and dry them with paper towels. Salt and pepper on both sides. If you want, you can add any chicken seasonings or spices. But personally, I like this simple apple scent, not mixed or clogged with other smells.
Peel hard green apples, remove seeds and cut into medium slices.
Heat the frying pan, pour in the oil and place the pieces of meat skin side down. Over high heat, brown one side well and turn over to the other.
As soon as you turn it over to the other side, add the prepared apples to the chicken.
You can pepper it a little more. Reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Simmer for 5 minutes until the apples are ready. Remove the lid and let it brown for another 3 minutes.
We put it on plates and you can call everyone to the table.
