Cooking Steps

Prep Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and then generously season them with salt and pepper.
Sauté Chicken: In a large, well-heated pan, add a splash of oil and cook the chicken over medium heat until golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
Make Sauce: In the same pan, sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and sauté until golden. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth and slightly thickened.
Add Cream and Apples: Fold in the heavy cream and sliced apples. Simmer until the apples soften, about 5 minutes.
Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken to the pan, stir to combine, and taste to adjust seasoning.
Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped thyme and parsley on top before serving.
