Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet, skin-side down, leaving at least 1 inch between the breasts to ensure even cooking and browning. Cook until skin is browned, about 6 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 6 minutes until browned on both sides. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and stir in apples and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Season with sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper; stir to combine.
- While apples are cooking, whisk together chicken broth, whipping cream, honey, and mustard in a small bowl. Pour broth mixture in with the seasoned apples and onions and gently scrape browned bits from the bottom using a wooden spoon. Slide chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them between onions and apples.
- Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN IN MEAD SAUCE
This dish originated on the island of Lindisfarne, a remote and secluded little island off the southeast coast of Scotland and northeast coast of England. The last time I visited this island, about 30 years ago, it was impossible to reach by air (too small to have an airport) or by water (the only boats that went to Lindisfarne were supply boats), and there was no bridge across which one could drive from the mainland. The ONLY way for "tourists" to reach this little diamond in the rough was, and may still be, to drive to the island. And one had the opportunity to do so only twice every day, with about a 30- to 45-minute window of time in which to do so. In case you haven't guessed, that meant that one had to drive across the seabed at low tide. Mead (a sweet, light honey-coloured or clear wine) was originally made, for centuries, by the monks on the island. Although the monks are now gone, their tradition and recipes remain. You will probably want to double or quadruple the ingredients, or you may be sorry that you didn't!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking pan.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a large pocket in each chicken breast. (Hint: Cutting close to the smooth side of the breast ensures no holes in the chicken.) Place 1 half-slice of provolone inside each chicken, followed by half of the apple slices, and a small amount of shallot or onion, to suit your tastes. Top with the remaining half slice of provolone. Pull the chicken back together, sprinkle with a small amount of milk, and coat with breadcrumbs. Place stuffed breasts on baking pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until no longer pink, and juices run clear.
- While the chicken bakes, you may start your sauce. In a double boiler over lightly simmering water, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Beat until the yolk lightens and froth forms. Slowly add the wine, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans and vanilla. The sauce looks nice served under the chicken with a small amount drizzled over it.

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. Different apples will give your sauce different flavors and textures. For a tart sauce, use Granny Smith apples. For a sweeter sauce, use Honeycrisp or Gala apples. And for a more complex flavor, use a mix of different varieties.
- Don't peel the apples. The skins of apples contain pectin, which is a natural thickener. Leaving the skins on will help your sauce to thicken without having to add any additional thickeners.
- Use a good-quality mead. The mead you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your sauce. Choose a mead that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
- Simmer the sauce until it is thick and syrupy. This will take about 30 minutes. Be patient and don't rush the process.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Apple mead sauce is best served warm, over chicken or pork.
Conclusion:
Apple mead sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover apples, and it is also a great way to add a touch of sweetness and complexity to your favorite dishes. Whether you are serving it over chicken, pork, or even ice cream, apple mead sauce is sure to be a hit.
