  1. Pat the chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Sear the chicken 3-4 minutes per side, just until lightly golden, then transfer to a plate.

  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, butter, onions, and a pinch of salt to the same skillet.

  5. Cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden.

  6. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

  7. Add the cider, broth, and Dijon to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.

  8. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet.

  9. Simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 165°F.

  10. Move the chicken the the edges of the pan.

  11. Stir in the arrowroot slurry and simmer for about 2 minutes, until the gravy is glossy and thickened.

  12. Finish with fresh thyme.

  13. Enjoy!
