What’s happening in the pan: apples caramelizing; juicy chicken searing; apple cider bubbling; rosemary making your whole kitchen smell like fall. This apple cider chicken skillet is a healthy, simple meal takes just ONE PAN and is ready in 30 minutes. She’s a finalist for Miss Fall Dinner, and I must say, she has an excellent shot at the tiara. I’m relieved that this recipe was a hit at our house, because after Sunday’s apple picking extravaganza, I have A LOT of apples to go through. I’m not sure what it is about being at an orchard that makes me lose all reasonable sense of quantity, but I drove home with a toddler-sized bag of apples in the passenger seat beside me. I drove halfway home with an apple cider donut. Unlike the apples, it didn’t survive the journey.

Have an extra bite of this apple cider chicken skillet (feel ambitious with homemade Apple Cider!). Then have an Apple Oatmeal Cookie for dessert and forgive me.
