Apple Chicken

This is not the healthiest meal (turn your head as you add all the butter) but boy is it yummy!  And my kids will actually eat cooked apples...maybe it has something to do with all that butter....hmmm...

Ingredients:

• 4 regular sized apples (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
• 1-2 Tbsp diced onion (your preference)
• chicken (enough to feed your family)
• flour
• 3 Tbsp butter
• 1/4 tsp thyme
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup half and half
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch

How To:

• Rinse and roll the chicken in flour to coat.
• Heat 1Tbsp of butter and 2 Tbsp of oil over med heat.  Cook chicken until cooked through adding oil if needed to prevent burning.
• In another pan, melt 2 Tbsp of butter.  Add the onion, apples, and thyme.  I never measure the thyme - I just sprinkle a bunch on.
• Cook until the apples are softened.  I let it go until they are nice and soft (maybe 5 minutes) and they will smell amazing!
• Remove the apples.  In the same pan, warm up the chicken broth and 1/4 cup of half and half until its hot.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 cup half and half.  Add this to the warmed broth/half and half mix.  Cook until the sauce thickens (I let it go while I set the table, stirring often so it doesn't burn).
• Serve the apples on top of the chicken and the sauce on top of that.

Enjoy!
