Chicken Scaloppine With Apples In Apple Cider Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN WITH APPLE, ONION AND CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and coat in flour, shaking off the excess. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pan. Place the chicken smooth-side down in the skillet and cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish and bake until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the red onion and apple to the skillet, along with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil if the pan is dry. Increase the heat to high and cook, tossing, until the onion has wilted slightly and the apple is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar with a wooden spoon, scraping up the browned bits from the pan. Let the mixture boil until the vinegar becomes syrupy, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the broth reduces by half. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and whisk in the butter.
• Remove the chicken from the oven; add any collected juices to the pan sauce. Divide the chicken among plates and spoon the apple, onion and sauce over each piece. Sprinkle with the parsley.

CHICKEN WITH APPLE CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a medium to large skillet over medium-high heat, for about 1 minute or until the surface of the pan is hot. Add the oil and heat until rippling on the surface. Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the pan and cook until the meat is golden, about 4 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts, lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook until firm to the touch or an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, about 4 to 6 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest.
• Pour off any fat remaining in the skillet. Add the vinegar and deglaze over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the cider and the broth. Bring to a boil and cook until it thickens to form a sauce, about 6 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, lemon juice and thyme leaves. Return the chicken to the pan, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH APPLES IN APPLE CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, spread the cornstarch out on a large plate. Sprinkle the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper to taste, then coat both sides of the cutlets with the cornstarch, shaking off any excess. Place the chicken in the pan or skillet, being careful not to crowd the pieces. Cook for about 2 minutes, until lightly browned on one side, then turn over and cook for about 2 minutes on the second side. Transfer the browned pieces to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken cutlets, adding oil as needed. Combine the apple cider and chicken broth in a measuring cup. With the pan or skillet over medium-high heat, add the apple and onion slices and about 1/3 cup of the cider-broth mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring and scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan or skillet; allow the liquid to evaporate. Add the butter, stirring to combine, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the apple and onion slices are tender. Add the remaining cider-broth mixture and return the chicken to the pan or skillet. Make sure all the chicken is coated with some of the cooking liquid and the apples and onions. Cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar; increase the heat to medium-high so the liquid comes to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low so the liquid just bubbles at the edges. Cook for 5 minutes; the sauce will thicken slightly and the chicken should be cooked through. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. To serve, spoon the apple-onion mixture over the cutlets.

SKILLET APPLE CIDER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken thighs with salt and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on both sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Place bacon into the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and drain excess grease from the skillet.
• Add onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup apple cider. Cook until reduced by 1/2, about 10 minutes. Add cooked bacon, apples, sage, and thyme; let simmer for 2 minutes. Add remaining chicken broth and cider.
• Return chicken to the pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook and stir until chicken thighs are no longer pink in the centers, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Remove the pan from heat and add butter, swirling to combine with sauce. Pour over chicken.

APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUT CAKE

Steps:

• Pour apple cider into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, without stirring, until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• While cider reduces, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously rub shortening all over the inside of a 12-cup Bundt pan. Sprinkle some flour all over inside of pan over shortening and tap around to completely cover in flour. Tap out excess flour and set pan aside.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together eggs, brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, apple butter, vanilla, 2/3 cup of the granulated sugar, and reduced apple cider in a large bowl. Add half of flour mixture to egg mixture and stir to combine. Add remaining half of flour mixture and grated apple and stir until just incorporated, but some lumps still remain, and making sure apples are evenly incorporated (you may need to use a fork to separate apple pieces). Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Stir together remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush melted butter evenly over outside and center ring of cake. Sprinkle top and sides of cake with cinnamon-sugar. Serve.
