Maple-Glazed Chicken with Apples

By dette

We like the ehart-shaped Gala apple for this recipe because it has a crisp sweet taste/ Look for it's distinctive yellow-orange skin with red stripes in supermarkets and at farmers' markets. If you can't find it, use another firm apple like Golden Deliccious or Granny Smith.

Ingredients

• 1 c. apple cider or juice
• 1 firm apple, cored and cut into 8 wedges
• 1/3 c maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves, crumbled
• 4 (4oz) thin-sliced skinless chicken breasts (1/4" thick)

Preparation

Step 1

Line the broiler rack with foil; preheat the broiler. In a medium nonstick saucepan, mix the apple cifer, apple, maple syrup and thyme; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the apple is tender and the sauce is reduced by half, about 8 minuts. Remove from the ehat and keep warm.

Place the chicken on the broiler rack and brush on both sides with half of the maple mixture; broil 4" from the ehat until lightly browned, about 3 mintues. Turn and brush the top with the remaining maple mixture; broil until the hcicken is cooked through, about 3 mintues longer. Serve with the apple wedges on the side.
