Best 12 Chicken And Apples In Pastry Recipes

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN AND APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until golden, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes, then transfer to a plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
• Add the onion and apples to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Mix the broth with the mustard, then add to the skillet and bring to a boil. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, in the skillet. Transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Mix the butter and flour to form a paste. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken, apples and onion to plates. Bring the pan juices to a simmer, whisk in about half of the butter-flour mixture and boil to thicken, 2 minutes. Continue to cook, adding more of the butter-flour mixture as needed to make a slightly thick gravy. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley.

ROASTED SPICED CHICKEN AND APPLES

Steps:

• Place the chicken breast-side up in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Season inside and out with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and the Baharat. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to overnight; this will help the skin get crispy!
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the onion, 4 sprigs of thyme and 2 sprigs of rosemary. Scatter the apples and remaining sprigs of thyme and rosemary around the chicken, sprinkle with the sugar and a pinch of salt and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast the chicken until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 1 hour. Let the chicken sit for 10 minutes.
• Discard the herb sprigs. Add a splash of vinegar to the apples and toss to coat. Carve the chicken and serve with the apples on the side.
• In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the coriander seeds, black pepper seeds, cumin seeds, cloves and cardamom seeds, stirring often, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and blend. Stir in the paprika, cinnamon and nutmeg.

LOVE BIRDS - CHICKEN IN PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season the chicken with salt, pepper and rosemary. Cut each piece of chicken in half across the breast giving you 8 equal portions. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brown the chicken on both sides, 5 minutes total. Remove from heat.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut pastry into 8 pieces. Place a piece of cheese on each pastry square and top with spoonfuls of fig preserves and the chicken pieces. Pinch and seal the dough up and over the meat and cheese, seal with egg wash, flip the pastry packets over and brush the tops with remaining egg wash. Bake 12 to15 minutes, until golden.
• For entree portions, simply leave chicken breast whole and cut the pastry into quarters. Trim off excess dough and use it to decorate the pastry with small cut outs such as heart shapes.

CHICKEN WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Pan fry chicken in half of the butter just until no longer pink in the middle, turning once to ensure both sides are browned.
• Remove chicken from pan and keep in a warm place or cover with foil.
• Core and slice apples as desired. I like to use my apple slicer- looks like a wagon wheel with handles- and then slice each lengthwise to make them thinner. To peel or not to peel- hehehehe- up to you. Likewise, red or green- the choice is yours. I like peel on and red for color!
• Add the rest of the butter, apples and thyme and fry until apples are as crisp or tender as you like.
• Pour apples over chicken and keep warm.
• Deglaze the pan with wine, cider or juice scraping all the yummy bits off the bottom.
• Add the cream- could use reduced fat sour cream or reduced fat or nonfat yogurt to reduce fat/calories. Yogurt will and a nice 'tang' to the sauce.
• Cook until slightly thickened.
• Return the chicken and apple mixture to the pan to make sure apples and chicken are nice and warm.
• When you are satisfied with the temperature of the dish, serve and enjoy!
• Experiment with your favorite herbs and seasonings- I have not tried this but I think a pinch of cinnamon might be really yummy here or maybe some nutmeg -- hmm --.
• Let me know what you think.

• Line 1 baking sheet with parchment paper and place 1 sheet of puff pastry on it.
• Cut the sheet of pastry into 9 equal squares, each about 3 by 3-inches.
• Brush each square with the egg and place 1 piece of sausage in the middle of each pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry inward to come together in the middle. Pinch the corners together in the center. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to bake.
• When ready to bake remove the plastic wrap from the trays and brush the pastry with the remaining egg-wash. Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.

APPLE FILLED CHICKEN IN PECAN CREME SAUCE

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.

EASY CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon salt, or as needed, on both sides. Place onto a rack, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator, and cut in half lengthwise on a slight diagonal to make 4 equal-size pieces. Place the chicken pieces between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to make 4 cutlets about 1/4 inch thick.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Mix together flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and sugar in a shallow bowl. Place each cutlet into the flour mixture to coat; shake off excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat until foam disappears, and gently lay the coated cutlets into the butter. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, and set aside on an oven-proof plate in the preheated oven to stay warm.
• Pour the sherry into the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping and dissolving all the brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the sherry is reduced to half its volume, about 5 minutes, and stir in the chicken broth; add the apple slices to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the sherry mixture is reduced by half. Stir in the brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of butter, and the Marsala wine until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is thick.
• Return the chicken cutlets to the sauce, together with any juice from the plate, and turn to cover cutlets with sauce. Simmer about 2 minutes per side, and serve 2 cutlets per serving, topped with apple slices and sauce.
