If you are not worried about weight loss, relax, there is more to chicken than diet recipes.

Fry gently for a couple of minutes then add the cyder and increase the heat to start the mixture boiling. When the cider mixture is at boiling point, pour it over the chicken in the casserole dish and cover the pot with foil or waxed paper before placing the lid on the pot. Put the pot in the oven and cook for approx 3/4 hour at 200C/400F When the time is up, remove the chicken from the pot and put onto a warm plate to keep warm whilst the gracy/sauce is prepared. If there is any fat in the pot, skim it off and then increase the heat, boiling the liquid away until there is only one cup full remaining. Pour in the whipping cream and cornstarch, and stir constantly till it reaches a nice creamy consistancy. Serve with the chopped parsley sprinkled over the chicken.
