1 cup warm apple cider
1/2 cup cream
ground cinnamon, a pinch
freshly grated nutmeg

2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
Directions:

6. Transfer the chicken to a plate and deglaze the pan with the vinegar.
7. Whisk in the marmalade, stock, and herbs.
8. Add the chicken back to the skillet and turn it in the sauce to coat.
9. Let the sauce thicken for 1-2 minutes, then serve the chicken and sauce with mashed sweet potatoes alongside.
