From the Test Kitchen

In this dynamic dish, tender chicken thighs are cooked alongside a duo of spiced tomato chutney and sweet apple, then finished with a dollop of tzatziki, which adds a bit of refreshing creaminess that perfectly balances the rich flavors of the glaze.

Prepare & roast the carrots:
1 Prepare & roast the carrots:

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Peel the carrots; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Place on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 11 to 13 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. 

Prepare the remaining ingredients & make the dressing:

3 Cook the chicken & glaze the apple:

While the carrots continue to roast, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a bowl, whisk together the tomato chutney and 1/4 cup of water. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes, or until browned. Flip and add the diced apple and tomato chutney mixture (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook, without stirring, 6 to 7 minutes, or until the apple is softened and the chicken is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Leaving the apple and glaze in the pan, transfer the cooked chicken to a plate. Add the butter to the pan and stir until melted and combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
