CHICKEN-APPLE-WALNUT SALAD WITH HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING



Chicken-Apple-Walnut Salad With Honey Mustard Dressing image

Served at the 1870 Wedgwood Inn in New Hope Boro, Pennsylvania, this simple chicken salad combines common ingredients in a less-than-common way, and with great results. If you happen to have some cooked chicken in your fridge (or perhaps a rotisserie chicken), you could probably save time by simply shredding that and using it instead of the freshly cooked diced chicken. NOTE: Cook time is chill time for the prepared salad.

GRILLED APPLE HONEY CHICKEN



Grilled Apple Honey Chicken image

Found in an old flyer and tried it out. My kids loved the hint of apple flavor. Great grilling recipe for those summer days when you don't want to turn on an oven. Can be prepared in the oven under a broiler...4-6 inches from broiler - broil 15-20 minutes occasionally basting with glaze. ***For the Chef who asked - it is 1/3 cup apple jelly (not applesauce) that is the first ingredient - it is not showing up in the recipe even though it is there in the "edit tool" -- I tried to zmail you but you are not accepting outside zmails from another chef. I hope you find this note! ******

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN BREASTS WITH APPLE SLICES



Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts with Apple Slices image

Our family loves honey mustard, and it is a natural with chicken breasts since they are mild and absorb the flavor so well. Just make sure they are skinless and can absorb the sauce (plus they are so much healthier that way!) This is a favorite fall and winter dish for us, or when we have guests!

Provided by AJ Ely

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3-4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 large apple, cored and thinly sliced
3 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp mustard
1/4 c minced green onion
1 1/2-2 c chicken broth (reserved from chicken breasts)
2-3 tsp cornstartch
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Begin by rinsing chicken breasts and slicing them into halves (this results in 6-8 servings).
  • 2. Then, in large saucepan, boil chicken breasts until meat is no longer pink.
  • 3. While chicken is cooking, mince green onion and set aside, reserving 2 teaspoons for garnish.
  • 4. Next, mix honey and mustard thoroughly in a mixing bowl and stir in green onion.
  • 5. When chicken is cooked thoroughly, extract 1 1/2-2 cups broth from saucepan and mix with honey mustard mixture in bowl to prepare a sauce. Stir in 2 teaspoons of cornstarch until absorbed completely sauce is smooth; cook mixture in a small saucepan over low heat until thickened. Slowly add additional teaspoon of cornstarch only if needed.
  • 6. Then, pour a small amount of sauce over bottom of prepared glass baking dish (11" X 7" or 9" square)to coat. Arrange split chicken breasts over this sauce in dish. Add remainder of honey mustard sauce, covering the chicken.
  • 7. Thinly slice apple into 12-16 slices. Arrange slices between chicken breasts, also coating with sauce. Sprinkle reserved minced green onion over top as garnish.
  • 8. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes. Sauce will thicken more during baking.
  • 9. Allow to sit about 5 minutes before serving.
  • 10. Serve chicken warm. A small ladle can be used for apples and sauce. Remaining servings refrigerate well for 1-2 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them thin to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a good quality honey: The honey you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish, so choose a honey that you enjoy the taste of. A light-colored honey, such as clover honey, will give the chicken a milder flavor, while a darker honey, such as buckwheat honey, will give it a more robust flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: Apple honey chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will start to lose its crispiness if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Apple honey chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give apple honey chicken a try.
