Ingredients

1/2 pound butter, plus 1/4 pound and 1/4 pound

1 whole chicken, deboned and cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 pound blanched French green beans

1 cup apple cider

1 pound mushrooms

1 pint heavy cream

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 apple

Salt and pepper

Tomato, as a garnish

Parsley, as a garnish

Directions

  1. Place 1/2 pound butter into hot skillet. Place cubed chicken in skillet and cook until golden brown.
  2. In another skillet place, blanched green beans with 1/2 pound butter to heat up. Add mushrooms to another skillet and cook until soft.
  3. Once the chicken is golden in color, add the cider to pan. We let the cider reduce to give the chicken an apple flavor. The butter and cider will begin to form a coating of caramel on the chicken. When the sauce is reduced to a glaze, add the cream, and a little salt, and pepper. The secret is to add the nutmeg at the end for a special flavor.
  4. To serve: Place chicken on plate with sauce. Slice apple and create a fan and place on plate for decoration. Finally add mushrooms and green beans next to chicken, and place a little tomato for color, and parsley.

Just served this to 5 very satisfied guests. Used boneless breasts for ease, be sure to carmelize well, it makes the chicken look delish and colors the sauce. Also added a few good dabs of cream cheese to thicken as I was serving over pasta and switched nutmeg for about a half tsp. garlic powder (I knew they didn't like the nutmeg with meat). I served it over farfalle on a large deep platter, placed the french beans on one side, the mushrooms (1 1/2 lbs.) down the other and then poured the chicken and sauce down the center. Simple garnish of chopped parsley and they couldn't say enough. Saving to my recipe box!
