With the abundance of apples in my house, I wanted to find a dish that allowed me to cook with apples, as opposed to just baking with them. I first saw the recipe for Chicken Normandy (or chicken à la normande), last year, but never got around to making it. I figured there was no better day than a rainy Friday after a hellish week to give it a try. With a Macintosh and Gala carefully selected, it was off to the kitchen to get started.
Even though this dish had many steps, it was all worth it in the end because it was DELICIOUS. The flavors of the apples, cider, brandy, onions and cream (I used light sour cream and it worked phenomenally) together is honestly, unexpectedly good. I could definitely eat the sauce on its own; it was that good.

ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I want those apples now!
ReplyDeletethis looks so tasty!
ReplyDeleteI am so, so hungry right now so this is the last thing I should be reading (or maybe it will make me stop procrastinating and finish up some work so that I can go get some food...hmmm...maybe). Anyways, this really does look incredibly tasty and this is coming from a girl who usually doesn't like fruit in her dinner... and especially that last pic :) #dying
ReplyDeleteMeri, you could totally still enjoy this minus the chicken! I think it would be heavenly with some squash!
ReplyDeleteOh and I drool a little every time I see that last picture too.
