Apple Cider Glazed Chicken
By Lena Abraham from Delish
Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 sliced apples
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 bone-in chicken thighs
⅔ cup apple cider
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon grainy mustard

3 sprigs of rosemary
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine sweet potatoes, apples and chopped rosemary in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil and toss until combined. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs (skin side down) until golden, then remove from the pan.
To make the glaze, add apple cider, honey and grainy mustard to the skillet and bring to a rapid simmer. Once the mixture is reduced, whisk in butter. Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up, along with the sweet potato mixture and rosemary sprigs. Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
