Creamy White Chicken with Apple
Ingredients -
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ cup half and half
3 cups Braeburn apple, peeled and thinly sliced
⅔ cup apple cider
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation:
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium high heat.
Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and thyme over the chicken and cook it for 5 minutes per side or until done. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep it warm.
Add the cider to the pan, scraping it to loosen any brown bits. Turn the heat down to medium low and cook for about 5 minutes until reduced to ⅓ cup of liquid.
Add the half and half and apple and simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce is thick and the apples are tender, stirring now and then.
Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and add to the sauce to warm.
Serve the sauce with the chicken over rice or homemade mashed potatoes.
