Chicken breast with apples in cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   We will need things that are well known and dear to us: chicken breast, apples, cheese, salt, sugar and vegetable oil. And not very exotic, but also familiar spices (ground): white pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger. And also cream and flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   We clean the chicken breasts from any remaining gristle and fat. Then wash and dry with paper towels.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now they need to be cut lengthwise into thin pieces and salted.

4. STEP 4

   

   Of course, we will wash the apples. And then we will peel the skins from them and cut them into quarters, take out the middle with the seeds. And although this does NOT apply to the recipe, I personally throw the peel into a teapot and pour boiling water over it and it turns out to be a compote.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the fully peeled apples into thin slices. Take a closer look at the photo - I cut it as thick as a finger.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now let's get back to the breasts. Place about 1/2 of the pieces in a single layer on a frying pan greased with vegetable oil. I’m used to cooking in my favorite old cast-iron frying pan, but you can use any relatively deep dish that can be put in the oven. Yes... and I have refined sunflower oil.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then we put apples on the chicken, distributing them evenly. We use about 1/2 of all apples for this. And sprinkle with granulated sugar.

8. STEP 8

   

   And again a layer of chicken breast pieces. We put them on our layer of apples. Try to distribute evenly.

9. STEP 9

   

   And now another layer of apples. As a result, in our frying pan: we alternate two layers of chicken with two layers of apples. The last layer of apples ends up on top. And again, sprinkle a little granulated sugar. And cover it with a lid or plate so that the apples don’t get scorched, and set it aside.

10. STEP 10

    

    Now it’s time for the cream filling: mix the cream with flour. Mix well until smooth. I did this with a whisk. The volume is too small for a mixer.

11. STEP 11

    

    Now add all the necessary spices to this mixture: white pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, plus salt and granulated sugar.

12. STEP 12

    

    Mix everything thoroughly, whisking. This is our creamy filling.

13. STEP 13

    

    Now let's return to our frying pan with layers of chicken and apples. And evenly fill the apples, they are on top, with our creamy filling

14. STEP 14

    

    Now is the time to turn on the oven..... and while it is heating up, we take the cheese and grate it on a medium or coarse grater.

15. STEP 15

    

    Then sprinkle grated cheese on top of everything in the pan. The cheese is the last layer. And we send the frying pan (without a lid) to the preheated oven. In the oven, 180 degrees and we cook for 50 minutes.... BUT!!! Everyone remembers that the time depends on YOUR oven.

16. STEP 16

    

    ALL!!! Our chicken with apples in cream is ready! Bon Appetit everyone! And believe me, it is not difficult and does not take long. BUT delicious!!!
