Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with flour; cook until browned on both sides, flipping once, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet to a plate.

Add onions, salt, and pepper to same pan and reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Add cider, broth and mustard to pan; stir to combine.

Return chicken to pan and increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Add apples and sage to pan; flip chicken over, stir mixture and continue to cook, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Yields 1 chicken breast and about 3/4 cup apple mixture per serving.
