Quick Apple & Chicken Skillet

With a bag of granny smith apples in my fridge so sour that I can barely eat them with sugar and chicken breast thawing in my fridge I thought I’d experiment in the kitchen. I figured I’d make a meal we all love or we could have been eating peanut butter and jam sandwiches for supper instead. This Quick Apple & Chicken Skillet was the perfect meal, and one that is going into our meal planning rotation now.

What you need:

• 2 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 splash EVOO oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 clove garlic, minced
• 2 apples, cored and sliced
• ¼ cup apple vinegar
• 2 Tbsp honey mustard
• 1 handful fresh sage leaves

How to make Apple & Chicken Skillet

Start with some oil in a pan, heat on medium-hot then add the chicken breast. Cook chicken breast for 5 minutes on each side, browning then nicely but not cooking them all the way through.

Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate, lower heat to medium and sauté a chopped onion and 3-4 minced garlic cloves for a few minutes then add 2 peeled, cored and sliced apples, 1/4 cup of cider vinegar, 2 tbsp of honey mustard, and a couple tbsp of fresh sage, chopped.

After about five minutes add chicken back into the pan with everything else. Cover with a lid tightly. Let it simmer at low-medium for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.

Remember, don’t go check your email while you are cooking. If you do, then yours will look be a little blacker than it should be. Like mine. While it was a little blacker than it should have been, it was still delicious. Like, OMG good. Hubby was very suspicious of it from the moment I peeled the first apple. But said, a little less burnt and it was definitely a make again meal.

This Apple & Chicken Skillet needs to be on everyone’s menu this summer!
