How to Make Apple Country Chicken

  1. In a large, wide frying pan, add 2 tablespoons of curry powder and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until slightly darker in color (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Add 1 large apple (peeled, cored, and diced), 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced), 1 chicken bouillon cube (crumbled), and 1 1/2 cups apple juice to the pan.
  3. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Rinse 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  5. Add the chicken breasts to the pan.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  7. Carefully transfer the cooked chicken to a platter and keep warm.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup apple juice until smooth.
  9. Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the sauce in the pan, stirring constantly, and cook until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. Pour the thickened sauce over the warm chicken.
  11. Garnish with 2 green onions (thinly sliced) and a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt (about 2 tablespoons per serving).
  12. Serve the Apple Country Chicken immediately over cooked rice.
