👨🍳 조리법
- 1
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensuring the chicken is dry helps it to brown better. - 2
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
💡 전문가 팁: Don't overcrowd the pan; sear the chicken in batches if necessary. - 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped shallots to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 전문가 팁: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan as you cook the shallots and garlic. - 4
Pour in the Calvados and carefully ignite it with a long match or lighter (flambé). Let the flames die down, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
💡 전문가 팁: Be cautious when flambéing; ensure there are no flammable materials nearby. - 5
Add the hard cider and chicken broth to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then return the chicken pieces to the pan. Add the thyme sprigs.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the liquid comes about halfway up the sides of the chicken. - 6
Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Simmering gently ensures the chicken stays moist. - 7
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Stir in the heavy cream and sliced apples. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are slightly softened and the sauce has thickened.
💡 전문가 팁: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape. - 8
Return the chicken to the pan to warm through. Remove the thyme sprigs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
💡 전문가 팁: This dish is excellent served with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
💡 전문가 팁
- ✓For a richer flavor, use a good quality Calvados.
- ✓If you can't find hard cider, a dry apple cider or even a dry white wine can be substituted.
- ✓The apples add a touch of sweetness and texture; choose varieties that hold their shape when cooked.
