Method
- Begin by preparing all of your ingredients because once this starts to cook you will not have time to be chopping and preparing anything.
- You do need to be available to stand over this dish at least for the first few minutes.
- Melt the butter and add just a tiny amount of oil to stop the butter from burning.
- Add the chicken to the pot and quickly seal all over.
- After the chicken is sealed all over season the meat with a little salt and pepper and add the mushrooms and onions and cook them gently.
- At this stage sprinkle in the flour mixed with the paprika and use this to coat all of the chicken and vegetable mixture.
- If you wish you can take it off the heat to stir in the flour.
- Return the saucepan to the heat and then pour in the cider, pouring cream and chicken stock.
- Immediately mix in the wholegrain mustard at this time also (of course you could add more mustard if you wish).
- Allow this sauce to come to the boil at this stage, and then add in the chopped cooking apple, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer for a further 30-35 minutes.
- Serve the chicken and cider casserole with some softly boiled basmati rice and crusty bread.
