Chicken and Apples in Honey Mustard Sauce

By Beszhak

The sauce this recipe produces is fairly mild. If you would like a more intensely honey-mustard sauce, double up on the apple cider/mustard/honey mixture and skip the broth.

Rice and noodles on the side are good and any mixed veggies.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk cider, cornstarch, mustard, honey, salt and pepper (to taste) in a bowl. Set aside.

2. Salt the chicken well and dust in flour, shake off the excess.

3. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil and add the chicken. Cook over medium heat until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Turn chicken, add apples, and cook until browned on the other side.

4. Add chicken broth and cider mixture and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and simmer until chicken is tender, about 15 minutes.

5. With slotted spoon, remove the chicken and apples to serving plates. Spoon sauce over chicken and apples and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with rice or noodles.
