  • 300ml fresh chicken stock
  • 4 skinless chicken breasts

Serves: 4 Preparation: 20 Cook Time: 62 Total Time: 82min whats this
 

Directions

  1. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan then fry the apple until it has softened slightly. Tip it out on to a plate and reserve.
  2. Pour the cider and stock into a hot frying pan and leave to bubble gently for about 30 minutes, until it is approximately a tenth of its original volume.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan until it's very hot. Season the chicken breasts, add the oil to the pan and whack them in. Pan-fry for 10-12 minutes, until they are cooked through, and a delicious golden brown.
  4. To finish off the sauce, add the cream and apples and reduce the mixture for a further 10 minutes, until it is a nice smooth, creamy consistency. Add the chives and season.
  5. To serve, lay out four warm plates, place a chicken breast in the centre of each one and spoon the sauce over.
