Creamy Normandy Chicken And Apples
Our creamy chicken and apple dinner is a one-dish wonder!
This creamy chicken and apple dinner is a one-dish wonder! We took a simple approach to classic chicken Normandy, and this elegant dish was on the table in less than 30 minutes. Chicken tenders are quick to cook but need a little help in the flavor department. That’s where sweet apples smothered in a rich and savory sauce come in. The whole dish is a true taste bud’s delight, especially on a crisp autumn night!
It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s satisfying, it’s packed with flavor, and it all cooks in just one dish – what’s not to like?! We love everything about this easy chicken recipe, from the sweet-tart apples to the creamy, onion-flavored sauce. Weeknight dinners like this keep everyone happy and satisfied.
