APPLE CIDER CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE



Apple Cider Chicken With Mushroom Sauce image

From a French cookbook, the original name is "Poulet Vallee d'Auge". This dish has conquered even my most traditional friends who were horrified at the sight of an apple on the same plate with a piece of chicken! (Calvados is a liquor distilled from apples).

  • When the pan is no longer on fire, add scallions and cook on low heat until tender but not browned.
  • Pour Apple Cider in the pan and cook for 15 minutes, turning the chicken pieces once after 10 minutes.
  • Melt 2 tbsp butter in another pan, add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes.

  • Serve the chicken aside the apples, garnish with parsley.
  • (I like to do the recipe with only chicken breasts, cut into strips, and reduce cooking time accordingly).

Categories     Chicken Breasts

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt to taste
1 ¼ cups apple cider
4 slices Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Season chicken all over with garlic salt and black pepper.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook chicken in hot butter until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Melt remaining butter in the same skillet; cook and stir mushrooms, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in hot butter until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour cider into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until cider reduces, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Return chicken to skillet, reduce heat to medium, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of chicken, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.

APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUT CAKE



Apple Cider Doughnut Cake image

Warm spices with a true apple flavor. This cake is so moist and luscious. The shredded apple adds a little bit of texture, and isn't too piece-y or crunchy. The reduced apple cider packs a concentrated apple flavor, and the apple butter adds warm, apple-y sweetness. The butter and cinnamon-sugar finish really gives this that "cider doughnut" feel.

Categories     Apple Bundt Cake

Time 2h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ cups apple cider
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening, or as needed
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
3 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
3 large eggs
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup canola oil
½ cup whole buttermilk
¼ cup apple butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup white sugar, divided
1 medium Honeycrisp apple, peeled and grated
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

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.
