Directions
-
Trim excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces, then cut each piece into smaller, bite-sized chunks for even cooking.
-
Heat the corn oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it covers the bottom of the pan.
-
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer and brown them on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden.
-
Remove the browned chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
-
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the chopped onion and minced garlic.
-
Sauté the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
-
Pour in the dry white wine, apple juice, and finely chopped fresh ginger root.
-
Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced to approximately 1 cup.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of plain yogurt and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth.
-
Return the chicken to the skillet along with 2 chopped apples (cored).
-
Stir the yogurt-cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the chicken and apples.
-
Season with black pepper to taste and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
-
Meanwhile, cook 8 oz of egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
-
Serve the chicken and apple mixture hot over the cooked egg noodles.
