Cider-Glazed Chicken Skillet with Apples, Kale & Sweet Potatoes

A one-pan fall dinner that lands on the table in about 30 minutes. Chicken thighs get a quick sear, then simmer with sweet potato cubes and apple wedges in a glossy cider-Dijon glaze. Kale wilts in at the end so you have protein, starch, and greens without dirtying extra pans. Cozy enough for a chilly weeknight, simple enough to make on repeat all season.
