Recipe: Apple Country Chicken with Apple-Curry Sauce (using chicken thighs)

APPLE COUNTRY CHICKEN

1 teaspoon curry powder
1 large golden delicious apple, cored and chopped
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
2 cups apple juice or cider, divided use
3 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, skin removed
1 tablespoon flour

Place curry powder in a wide frying pan and stir over medium heat until slightly darker in color (3-4 minutes).

Add apple, yellow onion, lemon juice, mushrooms, bouillon, and 1 1/2 cups of the apple juice; bring to a boil.

Rinse chicken and pat dry; add to pan. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until meat near bone is no longer pink; cut to test (about 30 minutes). Lift chicken from pan; arrange on a warm platter. Keep warm.

Blend flour and remaining 1/2 cups apple juice. Gradually add to sauce in pan, stirring; increase heat to high and cook, stirring until sauce is thickened.

Pour sauce over chicken. The sauce also tastes good poured over baked potato.
