+title: Chicken Fricassee with Apples
+timings:

+description: >
+  This is a delicate dish with a lot of mild flavors which blend into a creamy sauce which becomes slightly sweet from
+  the apples, and slighly tart from the vinegar, but only just a hint of both.  The thin slices of breaded and sautéed
+  chicken keep it from being too chewy, and providing a great platform for the sauce and apples.
+steps:
+  - ingredients:
+      - { amount: 2, item: "apples, Honeycrisp & Granny Smith" }
+    directions: >
+      Cut the apples in to 16ths, taking care to cut out the hard parts of the core. Leave the skins on.
+  - ingredients:
+      - { amount: 4, item: "chicken breasts, skinless, boneless" }
+      - { amount: 1, unit: tsp, item: "salt" }
+      - { amount: 1, unit: tsp, item: "pepper, black" }
+      - { amount: 0.25, unit: cup, item: "gluten-free flour blend" }
+    directions: >
+      Pat the chicken dry and slice in half along the thickness of the breast to create two even halves about ¾” thick.
+      Season with salt and pepper and then dredge in a shallow dish containing the flour.  Shake off the excess flour
+      and set aside.
+  - ingredients:
+      - { amount: 2, unit: tbsp, item: "butter, unsalted" }
+    directions: >
+      Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, drop in the apples. Cook, taking
+      care to evenly brown both sides of each apple slice. They will only brown slightly, but you can tell they are done
+      when they start to become translucent at the edges. When done, set aside for later.
+  - ingredients:
+      - { amount: 1, unit: tbsp, item: "butter, unsalted" }
+    directions: >
+      Using the same skillet, melt some more butter and wait until it foams. Lightly brown the chicken on each side,
+      (about 2 minutes per side) working in batches, if necessary. Set aside until needed.
+  - ingredients:
+      - { amount: 1, unit: cup, item: "onion (diced)" }
+      - { amount: 2, unit: tsp, item: "thyme, fresh (leaves only)" }
+    directions: >
+      Using the same skillet, sautée the onion and thyme until golden and translucent (5–7 minutes).
+  - ingredients:
+      - { amount: 0.5, unit: cup, item: "apple cider" }
+      - { amount: 0.5, unit: cup, item: "chicken stock" }
+    directions: >
+      Add the cider and stock and bring to a boil.  Return the chicken to the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer.
+      Cover and cook until the chicken reaches 160°F (8–12 minutes).
+  - ingredients:
+      - { amount: 0.5, unit: cup, item: "heavy cream" }
+      - { amount: 2, unit: tsp, item: "vinegar, apple cider" }
+      - { amount: 1, unit: tbsp, item: "chives, fresh (minced)" }
+    directions: >
+      Transfer the chicken to a covered serving dish.  Add the cream, and cook on high, stirring constantly, until
+      reduced to the desired thickness (about 2 minutes). Stir in the vinegar and any chicken juices from the serving
+      dish. Bring up to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer for a few minutes.
+  - ingredients: {}
+    directions: >
+      Layer the apples over the chicken in the serving dish, and then spoon the sauce and onions over both.
