Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 beaten egg, with
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
seasoning salt (for dredging)
flour (for dredging)
2 ripe pears, pared, cored, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 granny smith apple, pared, cored, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 tablespoons butter
2 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, diced
2 cups chicken stock
2/3 cup apple cider, reduced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup toasted chopped hazelnuts (optional)
2 chopped scallions (optional)

Steps:

In large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Dip pieces of chicken breast into seasoned raw egg, dredge well in seasoned flour, then brown chicken, but don't cook all the way. Remove to plate.
In drippings, saute fruit 3 minutes; with slotted spoon remove to bowl. In drippings, melt butter, saute celery and onion 5 minutes. Return chicken to pan; add broth and reduced apple cider. Bring to boiling; simmer, covered 20 minutes. Add fruit and any juices; heat thoroughly.
You may toss toasted hazelnuts over the top for serving. I've added scallions chopped finely, as this is not a colorful dish,.
**For reduced apple cider - Take 2 cups of fresh squeezed or store bought apple cider (not just juice) and boil until it reduces down to about half. Measure 2/3 cup for this recipe. Concentrated flavor!

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make all the difference in the flavor of your New England chicken. Look for free-range, organic chicken and fresh vegetables.

Don't overcrowd the pot: When browning the chicken, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in a less flavorful dish.

Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Don't boil the broth: When making the broth, don't let it boil. A gentle simmer is all that is needed to extract the flavor from the chicken and vegetables.

Season the broth to taste: Season the broth with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

New England chicken is a classic American dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. This hearty and flavorful stew is made with chicken, vegetables, and a rich broth. It is a delicious and comforting meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
