Best Low-Carb Apple Cider Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans
If you’re looking for some healthy fall low-carb recipes, you should definitely try this recipe. It’s an amazing combination of crispy glazed chicken and tender veggies that will keep you full for hours. This recipe yields six servings, but you can adjust the amount to feed more or less people. We added some maple-flavored syrup to the glaze mixture, but you can substitute it with brown sugar replacement. You can also use other fresh herbs for a slightly different flavor (fresh thyme would work perfectly for this recipe). Although we highly recommend serving this flavorsome dish while it’s still warm and fresh, it will taste fantastic the next day – no need to worry about the leftovers with this one! Enjoy!
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Cut the green beans into smaller pieces. Roughly chop the rosemary. Add the green beans and potatoes to a baking dish and drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil. Season with ¼ tsp of salt and 1/8 of black pepper. Sprinkle everything with fresh rosemary and toss to combine.
Step 2
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and mix well again. Continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes and beans are fully cooked through.
Step 3
Meanwhile, wash and pat dry the chicken thighs. Season with the remaining salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan.
Step 4
Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes, turning each piece. Reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook for another 15-20 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked through.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. Add the cider, maple-flavored syrup, mustard, and the remaining butter to the pan. Stir well and simmer until the mixture has reduced slightly.
Step 6
Return the chicken to the pan and optionally add some fresh rosemary. Cook everything for a couple of minutes more. Remove from the heat.
Step 7
Transfer the prepared potatoes and green beans to serving plates. Top with the chicken and serve immediately. It pairs perfectly with some freshly grated parmesan.
