Ingredients:

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil or canola
  • 2 tart apples, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • salt & pepper to taste

Preparation:

In heavy skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat; cook apples, onion and thyme for about 4 minutes, or until just tender but still a bit crisp. Remove to bowl and set aside. Add remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to skillet; cook chicken, turning once, for 2 to 4 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Reduce heat to medium low. Set 1 tablespoon apple juice aside and pour remaining juice in skillet along with the cider vinegar. Cover and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. With slotted spoon, remove chicken to platter; keep warm. Combine cornstarch with reserved tablespoon apple juice; stir into skillet juices and cook over high heat, scraping up any browned bits, for 2 minutes or until thickened. Return apple mixture to pan and heat through, season with salt and pepper. Spoon apple mixture around cooked chicken.

Serves 4.

It got raves!October 30, 2007By GeorginaBetts
"I made this recipe to take to my brother's home. He now has to do the cooking there and his comment was ""How do you cook like this?"" I think that is the best compliment any cook can get. My sister-in-law, my husband and myself all agreed it was an excellent recipe. I had to reheat it since I cooked it in the morning and we ate at supper time (I had put it into a casserole dish after cooking) and it still got that response. I served it with with rice cooked with apple juice (reduced with water about 1/2 and 1/2) and sliced green onion mixed in along with a fresh salad."
