Apple Cider Chicken (Gluten-Free)

Update chicken night with fresh apples and seasonal cider for a meal that feels like fall. Anytime you cook down apple cider, the flavor intensifies making this a nice pair to rice and vegetables, whichever you happen to have on hand. A crisp Granny Smith works best to compliment the cider, but any apple will do.

1 small onion, chopped
1 apple, sliced into ¼-inch wedges
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, divided
