Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2-3 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup Drambuie (Scottish liqueur)
• 1 apple
• 3/8 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons roasted flaked almonds

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Season the chicken breasts with flour, salt, and pepper.
   • In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted and hot.
   • Add the chicken breasts and sauté until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

2. Cook with Drambuie:

   • Once the chicken is nicely browned, sprinkle Drambuie over the chicken breasts.
   • Pour in the chicken stock, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low.
   • Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
   • Remove the chicken breasts to a serving platter and keep warm.

3. Prepare the Apples:

   • While the chicken is cooking, peel and core the apple.
   • Cut the apple into thick slices.
   • In a separate pan, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
   • Add the apple slices and cook gently until tender, taking care not to mash them.

4. Make the Drambuie Sauce:

   • In the same skillet used for cooking the chicken, add a little more Drambuie to the remaining juices and stock.
   • Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently until the sauce is hot but not boiling.

5. Final Assembly:

   • Add the roasted flaked almonds to the sauce and stir to combine.
   • Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken breasts.

6. Serve:

   • Garnish the dish with the cooked apple slices.
   • Serve the Chicken Bonnie Prince Charlie hot, accompanied by your favorite sides or over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes.

Tips for Success:

• Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear.
• Adjust the sweetness of the dish by varying the amount of Drambuie and cream according to your taste preferences.
• Serve immediately to enjoy the flavors at their peak.
