Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Apple Cider
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 4 pieces Chicken Thighs
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 4 cups Shredded Cabbage
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 1 cup Thin Apple Slices
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Celery Seeds
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (Parsley/Chives)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, sear skin-side down for 6-8 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
  3. Glaze Chicken: Pour the prepared glaze over the chicken and baste while cooking for about 5-7 minutes until sticky and caramelized.
  4. Make the Slaw: Toss together cabbage, carrots, and apple slices. Whisk together vinegar, celery seeds, salt, and pepper, then drizzle over the slaw.
  5. Plate: Serve the chicken over the slaw to showcase the colorful crunch alongside the tender chicken.
