Sauteed Chicken with Apples

Here's a flavorful fall dish. I like to use flavorful, slightly tart green apples. I strongly recommend using cider instead of apple juice, too - it adds much more flavor.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  chicken breasts
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1  apple, sliced
• 1  cup apple cider
• 1  onion, sliced thin
• 1  clove garlic, minced
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2  tablespoons mustard (preferably Dijon or other flavorful mustard)

Directions

1. Pound chicken breasts until each is about 3/4 inch thick.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet and saute the chicken for about 3 minutes per side.
3. Add the apple, cider, onion, garlic, thyme, and salt.
4. Cover and simmer 6-8 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender.
5. Remove the chicken, apple, and onion from the pan.
6. Bring the remaining sauce to a boil and cook 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
