Delvarva Chicken

Serves 8

Serving Size:  30 ounces cooked chicken with 1/2 cup sauce and apples

Ingredients:

1/3 cup flour

3 teaspoons salt

1/2 to 1 teaspoon white pepper

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons dried sage

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 tablespoons canola oil

4 medium-size unpeeled Granny Smith applies, sliced thinly

2 cups applie cider

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup nonfat milk

Directions:

Mix the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sage in a shallow pan.  Dredge chicken through the flour mixture.  Heat the oil in an extra-large heavy skillet; add the chicken pieces and brown each side for 5 minutes.  Add the apple slices and cider; simmer, uncovered, until apples are tender, about 20 minutes. The cider should be reduced by half the original volume. 

Remove the apple slices and the chicken to a deep serving platter, cover and keep warm.

Blend the cornstarch into the milk until smooth; pour into the pan with the applie sauce.  Increase the heat; stir until sauce thickens.  Adjust the sage, garlic powder and pepper to taste.  Pour the sauce over the chicken and apples.
