Prep

Step 1. Pat the Chicken Thigh dry and season with half the Salt and all the Black Pepper.

Cook

Step 2. Heat the Olive Oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Step 3. Add the Sweet Potato, Onion and remaining Salt to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the onion softens and the potatoes begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
Step 4. Add the Apples and cook, stirring, until the edges start to soften, about 2 minutes.
Step 5. Stir in the Apple Cider, Chicken Broth, Dijon Mustard and Thyme, scraping up browned bits. Return the chicken and its juices to the skillet. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Step 6. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Simmer the sauce and vegetables uncovered over medium-high heat until the sauce lightly coats the apples, about 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over it.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Divide the chicken, apples and sweet potatoes among plates and spoon the pan sauce over them.
