Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and place the rack in the centre.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then coat them in flour.
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over a medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for about 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
- Add a little more oil to the pan if necessary, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook the onion with salt for 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and fennel seeds and cook for a further four minutes, stirring frequently.
- Deglaze with white wine and cook for a further two minutes. Add the apple juice, chicken broth, mustard and pepper, stirring well. Place the apple wedges and chicken breasts in the Dutch oven and bake for 15–20 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
- Heat the vegetable cream in the microwave for 30 seconds. This step is designed to prevent breakage. Pour the cream over the chicken and mix gently. Serve with fresh parsley!
