Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Slaw
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 cup red apple, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken by whisking together apple cider, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, ground cinnamon, black pepper, and salt. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  2. Prepare the apple cider glaze by reserving the marinade after marinating the chicken.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Pour reserved marinade into the skillet, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes until thickened.
  4. Prepare the autumn slaw by combining shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, thinly sliced red apple, and chopped green onions in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour dressing over slaw and toss to combine.
  5. Serve the sticky apple cider chicken over the autumn slaw.
