Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the hot skillet, skin-side down, ensuring at least 1 inch of space between each breast for even browning. Cook for about 6 minutes until the skin is nicely browned. Flip and cook for another 6 minutes until browned on the other side. Remove the chicken breasts and set aside on a plate.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then add the apples and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for approximately 4 minutes. Season with sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
While the apples are cooking, whisk together the chicken broth, whipping cream, honey, and mustard in a small bowl until well combined. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the seasoned apples and onions. Gently scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, arranging them among the onions and apples.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
