How to Cook Chicken Fillet with Apples in Honey-Mustard Sauce
Cut two large chicken breast fillets. One piece weighing 150-180g (5-6 oz) is sufficient for one adult serving.
Cut two large chicken breast fillets.
Slice the peeled apples.
Make criss-cross cuts on both sides of the chicken fillet.
Peel the onion and slice it thinly. Core the apples and cut them into slices about a centimeter thick.
Using a sharp knife, make criss-cross cuts on both sides of the chicken fillets. Drizzle the prepared fillets with one tablespoon of olive oil.
Mix the sauce ingredients well.
In a bowl, pour 3-4 tablespoons of water or 45 ml (about 3 tbsp) of dry white wine. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Add the honey and table mustard. Mix the ingredients well. If the honey is thick and lumpy, use warm water to help it dissolve quickly. If you’re using wine, you can warm the sauce in a double boiler or gently heat it in a saucepan.
Fry over high heat for 2 minutes on each side.
Remove the seared fillet from the pan.
Add the sliced onion and apples.
Heat a skillet well. Place the prepared chicken fillets on the hot skillet. Sear on high heat for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Don’t lift or flip the meat during this time; just let it cook for two minutes undisturbed.
Remove the seared fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate for a moment. Don’t wash the skillet; you’ll use it to make the sauce.
Pour the remaining tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet. Add the sliced onion and apples.
Flip the apple slices once they are golden brown.
Sauté over low heat. Flip the apple slices once they turn golden brown.
Return the seared chicken fillet to the pan.
Pour in the honey-mustard sauce.
Cook over low heat for about 8-10 minutes.
Return the seared chicken fillets to the skillet.
Pour in the honey-mustard sauce. In this recipe, the salt is only in the sauce, so scoop some sauce from the skillet and pour it over the chicken.
Cook over low heat for about 8-10 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and thickened. Then you can turn off the heat.
Sprinkle the finished dish with finely chopped parsley and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the finished dish with finely chopped parsley and pepper to taste. Serve hot. It’s delicious with fluffy rice. The rice soaks up the thick sauce, making it absolutely mouthwatering.
And there you have it—a beautiful and delicious meal ready to be enjoyed! This chicken with apples is incredibly versatile. While it pairs wonderfully with fluffy rice, feel free to serve it with creamy mashed potatoes, quinoa, or even a simple green salad to complement the rich sauce. For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce in the last few minutes of cooking. We hope this recipe brings warmth and flavor to your table and becomes a new favorite in your home. Enjoy every bite!
