Recipe's preparation

Somerset Chicken
Adapted from the Hairy Bikers

2 large chicken breasts
200g Cheddar
2 med onions
2 Green Apples
20 ish button mushrooms
250ml Apple Cider
4 tbsp plain flour
Salt pepper and thyme to taste
2 tbsp vege stock (EDC p17)

Seal the chicken breast all over in butter and garlic
I cut mine to tenderloin sizeish
Put in roasting tray at 180 while you do everything else

Grate cheddar on 4 for a couple of minutes
Set to on side

Core and quarter two green apples, add to bowl
Pulse to reasonably fine
Set aside

Add Mushrooms pulse
Set aside

Two onions roughly chopped in bowl
Pulse once... Twice at your peril
Add a dash of olive oil
Sauté at 100 for 5 minutes in reverse

Add 3 to 4 tbsps plain flour and mix in reverse
Add apples, mushrooms, 250ml cider with two tbsp veg stock
Add spices.... Thyme, pepper
Cook 100C for 15min in reverse

You can add cream here if you want.... I don't think it (or me) needed it!

Pour over chicken, cover with cheddar, put under grill to nicely brown

I served with 15mm rounds of baked sweet potato, blanched broccolini and baby Dutch carrots tossed in a pan with butter, pepper and the juice of a mandarin.
