Chicken with Apples

By Fiona Haynes, About.com

Chicken with Apples
Chicken with apples is a perfect warming fall or winter dish. Serve with noodles or skinny mashed potatoes—by skinny I mean no butter or cream, just nonfat or low fat milk, or fat-free chicken broth.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 22 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup apple cider
Preparation:
Sprinkle pepper over chicken. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet, add chicken and sauté until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add apple slices and cook for 2 minutes, stirring the pieces constantly. Return chicken to pan; add cider vinegar and apple cider. Simmer until chicken is cooked and liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes.

Serve with skinny mashed potatoes or noodles.

Serves 4.
