- 80 g butter (6 tbsp)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 60 ml calvados

- 500 ml apple cider
- 150 g champignon mushrooms, sliced

- 200 g golden delicious apples
- 4 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- salt and pepper
directions
- Season chicken pieces with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat 2 tbsp butter and the olive oil in a skillet, brown chicken pieces, then pour Calvados on the chicken and carefully light it with a match (keep a lid nearby, just in case…).
- When the pan is no longer on fire, add scallions and cook on low heat until tender but not browned.
- Pour Apple Cider in the pan and cook for 15 minutes, turning the chicken pieces once after 10 minutes.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in another pan, add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and their liquid to the chicken pan, add cream too and cook further 5 minutes.
- Take chicken out of the pan and keep it warm while thickening the sauce for about 10 minutes.
- Salt and pepper to taste, return chicken to pan, bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes more.
- Meanwhile core the apples without peeling them, brown them in a pan with remaining 2 tbsp butter.
- Serve the chicken aside the apples, garnish with parsley.
- (I like to do the recipe with only chicken breasts, cut into strips, and reduce cooking time accordingly).

I live in a tiny flat in the center of Milan with my sweet dachshund dog named Penelope (Penny). I'm a doctor specializing in family medicine, though everybody tends to think I'm the nurse or the assistant, or perhaps even a student since I tend to look a lot younger than I am....everybody tells me I'm going to appreciate it, but for now I still find it a little annoying!!
I've always loved cooking, when I was a child I wanted to be a patisserie cook (not sure the word is correct...), and I still can't understand how I got to be a doctor instead...anyway I still enjoy cooking at any time, and cooking for friends and family (Penelope included) is my weird way to show them my love (;P)
