A delightful slow-cooked chicken recipe with a touch of apple sweetness and creamy cheese topping.
Spread the sliced apples evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Ensure the apples are evenly spread to create a uniform base for the chicken.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the apples, slightly overlapping if needed.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Season the chicken with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg.
Sprinkle the spices evenly for consistent flavor.
Pour the apple brandy over the chicken and apples.
Ensure the liquid is evenly distributed to enhance the flavors.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain the temperature.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken and apples to a baking dish.
Handle the chicken gently to keep it intact.
Pour the cooking liquid into a pan and boil over high heat until reduced, about 8 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the liquid from burning.
Pour the reduced liquid over the chicken and apples in the baking dish.
Ensure the sauce coats the chicken evenly for maximum flavor.
Top each chicken piece with a slice of havarti cheese and broil in the oven until bubbly, about 2 minutes.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent it from burning.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
Add the parsley just before serving for a fresh touch.
