Preparation
Start the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pat the chicken dry; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P.
- In a large, oven-safe pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the chicken and cook, partially covered, 4 to 5 min. per side, until partially cooked.
- Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve the lemon; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Core and medium-dice the apple; toss with a splash of the lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Pick the thyme leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
Cook the vegetables & make the sauce
- Heat the reserved pan on medium-high.
- Add the onion and sauté, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften.
- Add the apple and 3 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Sauté, 2 min., until caramelized.
- Add the thyme, cabbage and remaining spices. Sauté, 2 min., until softened.
- Add ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions), the demi-glace, remaining lemon juice and S&P; stir well.
Finish the chicken
- To the pan, add the chicken.
- Cover, transfer to the oven and bake, 15 min., until the chicken* is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Plate your dish
- Divide the chicken (slice beforehand if desired), vegetables and sauce between your plates.
- Garnish with the lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
