Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces green apples
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet.

Step 5

Peel and core the green apples, then slice them into thin wedges. Add the apple slices and diced onion to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and the onions become translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the curry powder, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Cook for another minute to release the aromas of the spices.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside on a serving plate.

Step 10

Stir the heavy cream into the skillet with the apples and sauce, then cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 11

Spoon the curried apple sauce over the chicken breasts and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 12

Serve immediately with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
