This easy one-pan supper pairs juicy chicken breasts with a tangy, irresistible compote. It's a wonderful autumn-inspired meal and a great way to make use of freshly
picked apples. You'll find yourself making it whenever you visit the apple orchard.
Along with the apples, the chicken is flavored with sliced red onions, apple cider,
Dijon mustard, and fresh sage. Feel free to serve it with whole wheat or regular couscous to help absorb some of the delicious pan sauce. Couscous cooks in a
matter of minutes, so it's a terrific, fast side dish. You can swap in broth for water
when you make the couscous to amp up the flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, four 4-oz pieces
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 large uncooked red onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1½ cups apple cider
  • 1 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, sliced
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage, minced
  • 4 tsp fresh parsley, chopped


Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with flour; cook until browned on both sides, flipping once, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet to a plate.
  2. Add onions, salt, and pepper to the same pan and reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add cider, broth, and mustard to pan; stir to combine.
  4. Return chicken to the pan and increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, 15 minutes.
  5. Add apples and sage to pan; flip chicken over, stir the mixture and continue to cook, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
  6. Serving Size: 1 chicken breast and 3/4 c apple mixture.
