Chicken With Cider Casserole Food

CIDER VINEGAR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with garlic salt, then pour vinegar over all.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes or until chicken is browned and cooked through, and juices run clear.

CHICKEN, CIDER AND APPLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Pat the chicken breasts dry with kitchen paper then dip in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Heat a large, deep, lidded frying pan or casserole for a couple of minutes over a moderately high heat. Add one tablespoon of oil then, when that is hot, add half the butter.
• Place the chicken breasts in the pan, skin-side down and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the skin is nicely browned. Turn the breasts over, turn the heat down and fry the other side for 1-2 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts to a plate, discard the fat in the pan and wipe it clean.
• Return the pan to a moderate heat and add the remaining oil and butter. Add the onion, carrot and celery, stir well, cover the pan and cook for five minutes, or until the vegetables are beginning to soften.
• Stir in the thyme and any leftover flour. Add the chicken stock and cider, bring to the boil and add the sliced apples. Turn the heat down and return the chicken pieces to the pan, spooning the vegetables and apple over them. Replace the lid and simmer for about 35-40 minutes, turning the chicken breasts over half way through. Add a little extra cider or chicken stock if needed. Check the seasoning, adding extra salt or pepper to taste.

CIDER VINEGAR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet.
• Brown the chicken on both sides, 3 minutes per side.
• Remove and reserve the meat, covered with foil.
• Add another tablespoon of the olive oil, and then add the onions, garlic, thyme and honey.
• Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently for 7-8 minutes.
• You want the onions to get really brown and caramelized.
• Add ½ cup of the cider vinegar and the stock.
• Turn up the heat to high and bring up to a simmer.
• Once at a simmer, return the chicken to the pan.
• Cook the chicken in the sauce for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.

CHICKEN WITH CIDER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and brown the chicken in batches. Transfer chicken pieces to a large casserole dish.
• Tip out any excess fat from the pan, add butter and quickly brown the shallots for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn down the heat, add celery and apple, and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the garlic and the apple cider.
• Transfer the mixture to the casserole dish and add enough stock to come halfway up the chicken. Stir in the cornflour mixture, herbs and bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and bake for 1 hour.
• Allow the casserole to cool before freezing in a sealed plastic container. Prior to serving, thaw completely in the refrigerator, then heat until boiling.

CHICKEN WITH BRAISED CELERY & CIDER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Heat the butter in a large casserole dish and brown the chicken slowly on all sides; this should take a good 10-15 mins. (Be patient, it will pay off later.) Take the chicken out of the dish, throw in the bacon and cook for 3-4 mins until starting to crisp, then add the onion, carrots and thyme and continue to cook for 4-5 mins until the vegetables soften. Stir the celery into the dish, then nestle the chicken amongst the veg, breast side down. Pour over the cider and stock, bring to a simmer, then roast the chicken uncovered for 1 hr.
• Turn the chicken the right way up and give it 30 mins more, by which point the legs should be coming away. Carefully lift the chicken from the dish. Check the seasoning of the vegetables and serve with the chicken.

CIDER, MUSTARD & HERB CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large lidded non-stick pan (we used a wide, high-sided frying pan) and cook the chicken for 3-4 mins on each side until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon, then add the onions to the pan. Cook for 3 mins, then stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the cider and bring to the boil. Return the chicken to the pan, cover with a lid and simmer for 10 mins.
• After 10 mins, remove the lid and stir in the crème fraîche, mustard and herbs. Bubble for another 5 mins, then season. Serve with rice and Tenderstem broccoli.
