Green Apple Chicken

Green Apple Chicken

INGREDIENTS:
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon whole yellow mustard seeds
3 Tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 Tablespoons flour
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into wedges
¾ cup chicken stock
1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro

METHOD:

In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, and mustard seeds.

Heat 2 Tablespoons oil in a skillet over high heat. Toss the chicken with the flour until evenly coated, and cook until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and apples. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until the apples are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the spice mixture. Stir until the apples are tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add stock and the reserved chicken, and increase the heat to high. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened and the chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the cilantro.
