\"AppleApple Chicken Recipe with Bacon and Potatoes<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4 strips bacon (cut into \u00bd inch slices)<\/p>\n

2 large crispy apples (diced)<\/p>\n

8 bone-in chicken thighs (skin on or off \u2013 your choice)<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp. EACH: salt and pepper<\/p>\n

2 T. EACH: dijon mustard, grainy mustard, and honey<\/p>\n

1 lb. nugget potatoes (quartered)<\/p>\n

2 C. spinach<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook the bacon in a large, ovenproof frying pan over medium heat until it’s crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon. Turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the apples to the pan and let them cook until they turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the pan and put them with the bacon. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and add them to the pan skin side down. When they are golden brown, remove them from the pan. Add the chicken stock, Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, and honey to the pan and whisk well. Add the potatoes and stir them through the sauce. Nestle the chicken thighs into the potatoes, browned side up. Cover the pot and put it into your oven to cook for 30 minutes. Remove the cover from the pot and let it cook for 15 minutes more. Remove the pot from the oven and add the bacon, apples, and spinach. Pop it back in your oven for 5 minutes to wilt the spinach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
