Categories     Chicken     Apple

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced chicken cutlets, between 1/4- and 1/2- inch thick
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4 -inch dice (1 cup)
1 large rib celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup)
1 medium sweet, crisp apple, peeled and cored, such as Honeycrisp, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
1 cup homemade or no-salt-added chicken broth
1 1/2 cups (one 12-ounce bottle) hard cider
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard, or more to taste
1 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar, or more to taste
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add as many chicken cutlets as will fit comfortably, working in batches to keep from crowding the pan or skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the first side is nicely browned; turn them over and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cutlets are cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to keep the pan or skillet hot, but not smoking. Transfer the cooked chicken to a platter as you work. 2. When all of the cutlets are cooked, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the pan or skillet along with the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the onion has softened. Add the celery and apple; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the celery is tender. 3. Whisk in the broth and 1 1/4 cups of the hard cider, the mustard and brown sugar. Increase the heat to medium-high; once the mixture comes to a boil, cook for about 5 minutes, stirring a few times, until it has reduced by half. 4. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 cup of the cider in a cup to form a slurry; add that to the pan or skillet, whisking to incorporate and slightly thicken the sauce. 5. Return the chicken cutlets and any accumulated juices to the pan or skillet and reduce the heat to low; allow

The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try pounding the chicken thinner next time.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.
