4195

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons butter

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

All-purpose flour

3 Golden Delicious apples – peeled, cored, and sliced

1/2 cup applejack or Calvados

1/4 cup brandy

1 cup whipping cream

Melt butter in large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat with flour, shaking off excess. Add chicken to skillet and cook until brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to platter.

Transfer all but 1 Tablespoon butter from skillet. Add apples and both brandies; simmer over medium heat until apples are tender and liquid is slightly syrupy, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer apples to platter with chicken. Add cream to skillet; boil until thickened to sauce consistency, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return chicken and apples to skillet and heat through, about 2 minutes.

Arrange chicken on plates. Spoon apples and sauce over chicken and serve.
