APPLE CHICKEN - SHEET PAN CHICKEN WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a heavy skillet, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until it is completely mixed.
• Toss the apples and onions in the sugar mixture over low heat until they are coated, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the apple juice, chicken broth, vinegar, and mustard.
• Remove the chicken from the oven after 30 minutes. Add the apple onion mixture to the baking sheet with the chicken.
• Pour the apple juice mixture over the chicken, apples and onions and sprinkle the thyme over the top.
• Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 30 minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through.

SAUTEED CHICKEN AND APPLES WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Add onion and apple slices and saute for 4-5 minutes, until softened and slightly browned.
• Meanwhile, season the chicken strips with 2 teaspoons of rosemary, salt and black pepper.
• Push the onion and apple slices to the sides of the pan and add chicken breast strips to the middle. Brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes total. (If your pan is too crowded, do this in batches so you can properly brown the chicken.)
• Add vinegar and remaining teaspoon of rosemary then cover the pan, reduce heat to medium and cook until chicken is cooked through, 3-5 more minutes.
• Serve chicken and apples with extra pan juices and enjoy!

MAPLE-BAKED APPLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cook chicken in large ovenproof skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 3 min. on each side or until evenly browned. Remove from heat.
• Top chicken with onions; surround with apples. Mix syrup and dressing; pour over chicken.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF). Drizzle with syrup mixture from bottom of skillet.

CHICKEN WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Pan fry chicken in half of the butter just until no longer pink in the middle, turning once to ensure both sides are browned.
• Remove chicken from pan and keep in a warm place or cover with foil.
• Core and slice apples as desired. I like to use my apple slicer- looks like a wagon wheel with handles- and then slice each lengthwise to make them thinner. To peel or not to peel- hehehehe- up to you. Likewise, red or green- the choice is yours. I like peel on and red for color!
• Add the rest of the butter, apples and thyme and fry until apples are as crisp or tender as you like.
• Pour apples over chicken and keep warm.
• Deglaze the pan with wine, cider or juice scraping all the yummy bits off the bottom.
• Add the cream- could use reduced fat sour cream or reduced fat or nonfat yogurt to reduce fat/calories. Yogurt will and a nice 'tang' to the sauce.
• Cook until slightly thickened.
• Return the chicken and apple mixture to the pan to make sure apples and chicken are nice and warm.
• When you are satisfied with the temperature of the dish, serve and enjoy!
• Experiment with your favorite herbs and seasonings- I have not tried this but I think a pinch of cinnamon might be really yummy here or maybe some nutmeg -- hmm --.
• Let me know what you think.

Bring the pan juices to a simmer, whisk in about half of the butter-flour mixture and boil to thicken, 2 minutes.
