Apple-Glazed Chicken Thighs​

Test Kitchen Approved
My “pickatarian” child is choosy but willing to eat this chicken glazed with apple juice and thyme. I dish it up with mashed potatoes and green beans. —

Ingredients​

• 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (1-1/2 pounds)
• 3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 cup unsweetened apple juice
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions​

1. Sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides. Remove from pan.
2. Add juice and thyme to skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan; cook until liquid is reduced by half. Return chicken to pan; cook, covered, over medium heat 3-4 minutes longer or until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°.
