Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Spicy Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 cup Bourbon
  • 1 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Stock
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Finely Shredded Extra-Sharp White Cheddar
  • 2 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 small Red Onion
  • 2 medium Granny Smith Apples
  • Kosher Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black or White Pepper
  • Thyme Sprigs

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter along with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Let it become fragrant, which should take about 1 minute.
  2. Add the thinly sliced red onion and Granny Smith apples to the skillet. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the apples are caramelized but still firm.
  3. Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place them in the skillet, searing for about 6-8 minutes on high heat until they’re golden brown on both sides.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of spicy mustard and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Pour in the ½ cup of bourbon, cooking for about 2 minutes until the bourbon reduces slightly.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of low-sodium chicken stock and 1 cup of heavy cream. Bring it to a gentle simmer, and stir in 1 cup of finely shredded extra-sharp white cheddar cheese. Continue cooking for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Once the sauce has reached the desired consistency, garnish the dish with fresh thyme sprigs before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Use half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
  • Butterfly the chicken for thinner pieces.
