PHEASANT (OR CHICKEN) WITH APPLE CIDER

Pheasant (or chicken) with Apple Cider image

I picked up this recipe years ago and it is one of my favorites when we've been blessed with a brace of wild pheasants...the apple cider and paprika gives it a wonderful flavor. Feel free to replace the pheasant with chicken and enjoy either way! I've suggested side dishes and a salad at the bottom of the cooking...

Ingredients

1 pheasant quartered (substitute with chicken)
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup (condensed)
1/2 c apple cider
1 1/2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c chopped onions
1 garlic clove minced
1 c dried cranberries
4 oz mushrooms, fresh
pinch paprika (hungarian if available)
2-3 c milk

Steps:

1. Marinate Pheasant (or chicken) in milk for 2-4 hours
2. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place Pheasant in un-greased baking dish (deep sided lasagna dish/pan works best)
3. Mix soup, cider, salt and other in bowl. Pour over Pheasant and sprinkle VERY generously with paprika. Note: if doubling recipe, use only 3/4 apple cider. also, do not mix water with the condensed soup...just use the soup base in the can
4. Place in oven and bake uncovered for 1 to 1.25 hours, occasionally basting. Err to remove sooner than later to preven meat from becoming dry (3/4 to 1 hour).
5. Remove from oven. Place on plate and sprinkle with paprika and extra cranberries.
6. I like to serve with asparagus and chery tomato's and roasted/quarted rosemary potatos and a good bottle of wine following a small but nice spinach/rasberry/brie/macadamia nut/rasberry vinaigrette salad.
7. Enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of pheasant, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The apple cider sauce really helped to mellow out the gamey flavor of the pheasant.

This was an interesting dish. I've never had pheasant before, and I wasn't sure what to expect. The apple cider sauce was delicious, and the pheasant was moist and flavorful.

This recipe was easy to follow, but I found that the pheasant took a little longer to cook than the recipe stated.

I found the apple cider sauce to be a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred it with a more savory sauce.

This dish was a little too gamey for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with chicken.

I'm a big fan of pheasant, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The apple cider and spices really bring out the flavor of the pheasant. I usually serve it with roasted vegetables and a glass of red wine.

I added some chopped walnuts to the apple cider sauce, and it gave it a nice crunchy texture. I also served the pheasant over mashed potatoes, which was a great way to soak up all the delicious sauce.
