By tcasteel2000

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 16 ounces skinless chicken breasts, (4 4-ounce)
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 medium Granny Smith apple (or any tart apple), peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup organic apple cider, or organic apple juice
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix 2 tablespoons broth and cornstarch in a small bowl.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and done, 5-10 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

3. Reduce heat to medium-high and add onion to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until it starts to soften and brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Add apple and cook, stirring often, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining broth, cider (or juice), mustard, thyme and the cornstarch mixture.

5. Bring to a boil, stirring, until thickened and glossy, about 1 minute. Return the chops to the pan and heat through. Serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings.
