This elegant sautéed chicken with parsnip and apple offers a beautiful balance of autumnal flavours and sophisticated textures. The sweetness of the roasted parsnips and the tartness of the Granny Smith apples create a wonderful contrast to the savoury chicken, all brought together by a silky sherry pan sauce. Fresh thyme adds a delicate earthy note that elevates this simple frying pan meal into something truly special for a mid-week dinner or a relaxed weekend treat.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on lean protein and fibre-rich vegetables without compromising on depth of flavour. The use of dry sherry provides a complex acidity that reduces into a rich glaze, while the modest amount of butter ensures a luxurious finish. Serve this comforting dish with a side of steamed leafy greens or a crisp salad for a nutritious and satisfying homemade meal.
