Description
A heartwarming dish that combines the cozy flavors of fall with juicy chicken, seasoned perfectly with apple cider, thyme, and rosemary.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup apple cider (not the vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced thin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 cup of sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften and become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the onions and sauté for an additional minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Push the onions and garlic to the side and place the chicken breasts in the center. Cook until browned on one side, about 5-7 minutes.
- Flip the chicken breasts over and pour in the apple cider. Add the sliced apples and Dijon mustard if using.
- Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let everything simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of apple cider for best flavor.
