Directions:Slice apples just before cooking. Rinse leeks thoroughly before using to remove any dirt that may be hidden between the layers. Slice only the white end. In a heavy skillet brown the chicken breast halves in hot oil over medium heat, turning once. Remove chicken from skillet. Add the apples and leek to the skillet and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Add apple juice or cider and chicken bouillon granules. Sprinkle with thyme and white pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or till chicken is tender and no pink remains. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm.
In a small mixing bowl stir together sour cream and cornstarch. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of the pan juices to thin the mixture; add to remaining pan juices in skillet. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly; reduce heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Spoon sauce over chicken.
