Chicken meat is a versatile product from which many treats are prepared for the daily menu and for the festive table. Most often, chicken with apples is baked whole in the oven. But in this review, I propose to stew it in a pan. I am sure that every housewife knows that portioned pieces of poultry with spices and spices stewed in a pan are a win-win dish, with minimal labor costs. The recipe for the dish is incredibly simple. And as practice shows, the basic rule in cooking chicken dishes is that the meat should be fresh and chilled. Therefore, for a successfully prepared meal, choose just such a carcass.
When buying a bird from the store, pay attention to its color and smell. The chicken should be pink, almost odorless and slightly shiny. Pay attention to its integrity. The carcass should not be damaged, and its weight should not exceed 2 kg. At the same time, keep in mind that this size of the bird indicates that it is quite fat. Therefore, the dish will turn out to be very nutritious and high-calorie. And thanks to the fat, the meat is successfully combined with apples, which are soaked in meat juice.
Apples recommend using sweet and sour varieties. When cooked, they provide a stunning aroma and rich palette of flavors. The fruit should be firm, not crumbly, so it doesn't turn into applesauce. Although even if the apple dissolves, the dish will turn out with apple sauce, which is also no less tasty.

Step-by-step recipe for stewed chicken with apples:
1. Wash and cut the chicken into pieces. Breasts are not used in this recipe, I use them for pate and salads, the recipes for which you can find on the website. Wash the rest of the pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Remove all fat from the pieces, if any, you can also partially remove the skin, because she is also very oily.
2. Wash the apples, remove the seed box and cut into 4-6 slices. Peel and chop the onions in half rings.
3. Set the pan over high heat, add oil and chop well. Add the poultry and fry it until golden brown. A large fire quickly forms a crust on the chicken, which seals all the juice in it.
4. Add the onions to the pan, turn the temperature to medium, stir and fry the food for about 10 minutes more.
5. Bring the onion until transparent.
6. Then add the apples to the skillet.
7. Season the ingredients with salt, ground pepper and any spices to taste.
8. Stir the ingredients, pour literally 100 ml of drinking water and boil. Then cover the pan with a lid and simmer for about half an hour.
