Ingredients

3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 pound skinned chicken thighs
2 cup finely sliced yellow onions
2 cup ½-inch carrot cubes
2 to 3 10-inch sprigs rosemary
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
¼ to ½ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ cup (about 1 large) sliced red apples (cut into semi-circles)
1 ½ cup (about 1 large) sliced green apples (cut into semi-circles)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
rice or mashed potatoes, for serving

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan for 1 minute. Place the chicken pieces skin-side down into the pot and brown on each side for 2 to 3 minutes over high heat. Remove the chicken from the pot and place onto a plate for the time being.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and cook the onion slices over medium heat for until very soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the carrots and cook over medium heat until slightly browned, 10 minutes.
Throw in the sprigs of rosemary, marjoram, tarragon, salt, and pepper and mix well. Cook for a minute.
Add the apple slices and mix gently to coat with the onion mixture. Cook over medium-high heat to slightly brown the apples, mixing every few minutes to prevent burning, 10 minutes.
Pour in the broth, cider, and vinegar, and mix well. Return the chicken pieces to the pot and cook, uncovered, over medium heat until some of the liquid cooks off, about 45 minutes.
Serve hot with rice or mashed potatoes.
