Cider Chicken: the easy recipe
No Reviews
This chicken cooked in a creamy cider sauce is very easy to prepare, and paired with caramelized apples, it is perfect for an autumn menu.
Ingredients
1 Chicken
3 Flour
1 Calvados (alcohol) (optional)
1 Shallot
1 Dry Normandy cider
40 Margarine
50 Sour cream
Directions
1
Cut the chicken into pieces and coat them in flour. Heat the margarine in a cast iron pot and brown the chicken pieces over medium heat. Remove them and keep them warm.
2
Peel and finely chop the shallot and melt it in the pot. When it is transparent but not browned, add the chicken back in. Heat for a few moments, pour in the calvados, and flambé. Be careful, if you have a hood, do not stay underneath as you could catch fire.
3
When the flames are out, scrape the drippings from the bottom of the pot and add enough cider to cover. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and let simmer for 40 minutes.
4
To finish, when the chicken is cooked, keep the pieces warm. Reduce the sauce by half and thicken it with the cream, adjust the seasoning, and return the chicken to heat in the sauce for a few moments.

Very good! Very good recipe and also very simple and inexpensive! I didn't flambé and it didn't detract from my taste. Will make it again! My suggestion: none. -

Cider Chicken Excellent, the kids will love it, easy to make with chicken thighs. My suggestion: Serve with rice and quartered apples sautéed in salted butter. -

Excellent It was the first time I made chicken with cider and it was very good! My suggestion: I added an onion and 200g of diced bacon in addition to the shallot. I didn't add any cream to my sauce; after reducing it well, it was flavorful enough. -
