Step-by-Step Instructions
- Season the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-7 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
- In the same pan, sauté the sliced onion for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add sliced apples, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 2-3 minutes until apples soften.

- Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer on low for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove chicken, stir in mustard and cream, then simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Return chicken to warm through, garnish with parsley and thyme before serving.
