Start with simple, wholesome ingredients: flour, egg, and a walnut panko mix.

Season every layer with salt and pepper.

Coat the chicken in flour so that the egg can stick to it.

Dip the chicken in egg, then coat it with the walnut panko mix.

Heat olive oil in a pan and add the coated chicken to sear until golden and crisp, about 1.5 minutes on each side.

Transfer the seared chicken to a 350°F oven for about 4 minutes to finish cooking.

In the same pan, add locally sourced apples, fresh cranberries, a splash of bourbon, chicken stock, pure maple syrup, and grainy mustard to make the sauce.

Melt a few knobs of butter into the sauce for a silky finish.

Shut off the heat once the sauce is done and prepare to plate the dish.

Remove the chicken from the oven and begin plating with whipped potatoes, drizzle with the sauce, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
