Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 4 sweet medium apples, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 400 ml sour cream
  • 70 ml cream
  • 50 g butter
  • oil for frying
  • 100 ml dry white wine
  • 1 bunch of fresh basil, leaves chopped
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • salt
Cooking method
  1. Heat oven to 200˚C. Cut the chicken fillets into large pieces. Heat oil in a frying pan. Reduce heat to medium, add chicken, season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
  2. In a frying pan over low heat, fry the onions with butter until golden brown. Add wine, sour cream, cream, salt, pepper, finely chopped fresh basil and squeeze the garlic with a garlic press. Stir the sauce and pour over the chicken. Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
  3. Pour 100ml water into a frying pan, add the apples, bring to boil and add cinnamon. Reduce heat, cover and simmer apples over low heat for 20-25 minutes. When the apples are ready, crush them with a fork so that the apple pieces remain, but do not mush them into purée. Serve the chicken with the apple sauce.
My tips and tricks
In Holland, chicken with apple sauce is usually served with potatoes. But if you like this recipe, try it with basmati rice or wide pappardelle pasta. It is incredibly delicious
