Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6-8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup fresh apple cider
  • 1/2 tbsp dried parsley
  • 1-2 tsp minced garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp corn starch + 1 tbsp water stirred together, to thicken
  • mashed potatoes or rice for serving the gravy over

Instructions

  • Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Add the seasoned chicken to the pan, and brown on each side for about 2-4 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan, and set aside.
  • To the heated pan, add the broth, cider, parsley, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil, and use a spatula or spoon to deglaze the pan.
  • Stir in the cornstarch mixture, and reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Season the gravy with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet and remove the pan from heat.
  • Serve the chicken with a liberal serving of gravy poured over both the meat and over the mashed potatoes or rice.
