Description

Braised Chicken with apples and Italian sausage is the perfect fall dish. Not only does it make the house smell incredible, it tastes divine!


Ingredients

Scale

1/4 c olive oil

1 lb sweet Italian sausage

1 2 1/2 lb chicken, cut into 8 pieces

8 T red wine vinegar

3/4 c chicken stock (I use Better Than Bouillon if I don’t have a can)

3/4 c dry white wine

1 bay leaf

1 1/2 t dried thyme

Salt and fresh pepper

1 c pitted prunes

2 T Dijon mustard

2 large Granny Smith apples, cored and peeled and cut into 1 ” cubes

1 T chopped Italian parsley


Instructions

Heat oil in a Dutch oven and brown the sausage in small batches. Set aside. Do the same with the chicken. Set aside.

If there is too much fat, pour it off. Add 4 T of the vinegar to the pot and bring to a boil while scraping up all the brown bits. Then add the stock, wine, bay leaf. thyme and salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute.

Add the prunes and garlic to casserole and cook 1 minute. Now return sausage and chicken to casserole and toss with sauce. Cover and transfer to oven. Bake for about 40 minutes or until chicken is done.

Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken, sausage and prunes from casserole. Keep warm. Add the mustard and the remaining 4 T of vinegar t the Dutch oven. Whisk well. Add the apples and cook over medium-low heat until the apples and garlic are just tender, 5-7 minutes.

Spoon the sauce over the chicken, sausage and prunes; sprinkle with parsley and serve.
