Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve perfect caramelization.
  2. Cube the sweet potatoes and slice the apples, then toss in a bowl with rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down in a skillet with olive oil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  4. In the same skillet, combine apple cider, honey, and mustard, and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Nestle the chicken thighs back in the skillet with the sweet potatoes and apples, and pour the apple cider glaze over.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving hot, drizzled with pan drippings and garnished with rosemary.
