Easy Chicken Recipe in a Creamy Sauce

This chicken recipe uses a creamy sauce, which is both sweet and savory, to dress up skinless, boneless chicken breasts. The cider adds a wonderful flavor to this apple-flavored dish and the thyme complements the chicken flavor very well.

Do not worry if the sauce separates when you add the apples and the half and half, because it will become smoother again as it keeps simmering. If you like to make easy chicken recipes, this one is great because it does not require many ingredients, does not take long to cook and is very easy. This creamy white chicken recipe is great served over rice or with French fries.

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
2/3 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 1/3 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.
