Apple-Braised Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 pound uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, 4 (4-oz) pieces
• 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, finely chopped
• 4 tsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with the flour; cook, turning once, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
2. Add the onions, salt, and black pepper to the same pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Add the cider, stock, and mustard and stir to combine. Return the chicken to the pan. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
4. Add the apples and sage to the pan. Turn the chicken over and stir the apples and onions. Cook, uncovered until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
5. Serving Size: 1 chicken breast and ¾ cup apple mixture!
