  • 1 green apple
  • 1/2 of a small butternut squash
  • 1 onion

  • 4-6 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp of sage

For the marinade/gravy

  • 1 tsp of sage
  • 1 tsp of rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp ginger

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of apple cider, 2 tbs of balsamic vinegar, and 2 tbs dijon mustard. Cut up 2 chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Season the chicken with 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp of sage, 1/2 tsp of ginger and salt and pepper. Put the chicken in the bowl with the cider mixture. Cover and let marinade while you prepare the veggies.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium to medium high heat with 2 tbs butter and 2 tbs olive oil. While the skillet is heating, chop the veggies and apples into bite sized pieces and halve the brussel sprouts. Add all the veggies to the skillet.
  • Season the veggies with 4-6 cloves of pressed garlic, 1 tsp of sage, 1 tsp of rosemary, 1 tsp of thyme, 1/2 tsp of ginger, and salt and pepper. Pour in a 1/2 cup of sherry. Let cook for 5-7 minutes or until the veggies start to soften and sherry simmers.
  • Take the chicken out of the marinade and let cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Pour the reserved marinade in. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Serve hot, garnishing with rosemary and sage.
