Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sauté for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onions and Apples

    In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until they are translucent. Then add sliced apples and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the brandy and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. Then add the heavy cream, stirring well, and let it cook for another 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Serve the chicken with cooked spätzle and fresh vegetables on the side. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
