Cider Chicken & Noodles
Cider Chicken & Noodles is flavored with wine, cider& caraway for a home style German feel. Healthy with a serving of fruit and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 3 slices • 3 slices thick bacon or 2 of side pork, diced
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 pound skinless chicken breasts cut into strips (or turkey or lean pork)
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 cup apple cider apple juice or broth (see note)
- 3/4 cup white wine
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 apples cored and chopped (no need to peel)
- 2 1/2 cups sauerkraut
- 10 ounces wide egg noodles or whole wheat fettuccine
Instructions
- Sautee bacon in large frying pan until mostly crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain and reserve all but about 1 tablespoon of the fat.
- Add onion and garlic to the frying pan and cook until turning golden. Push to the side of the pan.
- Dredge the chicken strips in flour. Add 2 tablespoons of reserved fat to frying pan and sautee the chicken until almost cooked through.
- Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add the salt, pepper, mustard, caraway, reserved bacon, chopped apple and cider. Simmer, stirring periodically until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened. (Adjust flour/wine if needed for proper thickening)
- To serve, drain the hot pasta and stir the sauerkraut into the noodles. Pour into a serving dish or dishes, then top with the chicken and sauce. Serve immediately
Notes
If you don't have apple cider, you can use broth--in that case, add an extra chopped apple or two to bring out the apple flavor.
