Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup half-and-half
1 egg
½ teaspoon dried sage, crumbled
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups chicken broth
4 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix
2 cups chopped, unpeeled apples
½ cup dried cherries
½ cup chopped pecans, divided
6 chicken cutlets
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
olive oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk together half-and-half, egg, and sage in a bowl.
  • Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until onion begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and then stir in stuffing mix. Add chopped apples, dried cherries, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans, then remove from heat. Stir in half-and-half mixture and gently even out the contents of the skillet.
  • Season chicken cutlets with paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place on top of the stuffing mixture and press down into the skillet contents until the tops of the chicken are even with the other ingredients. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chopped pecans over the top and lightly spray chicken with cooking spray.
  • Place skillet in the preheated oven and bake until chicken juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve warm.

CHICKEN APPLE CASSEROLE



Chicken Apple Casserole image

This recipe was inspired one evening when concocting homemade baby food for my son. After sampling a chicken and apple blend- I thought why haven't I ever eaten these two together before? This recipe adds ginger for a zesty compliment to the sweetness of the apples, along with a medley of other 'sweet' veggies. Low fat, healthy and delicious.

Categories     Stew

Time 1h40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 chicken thighs
3 onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons paprika
1 ounce butter
2 cups chicken stock
2 apples, sliced
2 ounces prunes
fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken thighs with the onion, garlic, parsley and spices in a bowl in the fridge overnight.
  • The next day, heat the butter in a flameproof casserole and stir-fry the spicy onions for 2 to 3 minutes
  • Add the chicken and stock. Simmer gently over a low heat with the lid on for 1 hr, until the chicken is cooked.
  • Add the apple and prunes, and simmer for a further 25 minutes Scatter with cilantro and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a healthier option, or chicken thighs for a more flavorful dish.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a variety of spices: The recipe calls for salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, but you can also add other spices like paprika, cumin, or chili powder to taste.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Chicken and apple casserole 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. With its combination of tender chicken, sweet apples, and savory spices, this casserole is sure to please everyone at the table.
