Apple and Onion Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (about 2 pounds)
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 2 -3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large red onion, cut into large pieces
- 1 apple, cored and cut into large pieces
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 12 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter, cold, unsalted
- 1 handful fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pan.
- Place the chicken in the skillet smooth-side down and cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a baking dish and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the onion and apple to the skillet, along with 1 tablespoon oil, if the pan is dry, and increase the heat to high.
- Cook, tossing, until the onion has wilted slightly and the apple is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Add the vinegar and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the pan.
- Let the mixture boil until the vinegar becomes syrupy, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth and return to a boil.
- Cook until the broth reduces by half.
- Be sure to cook at least this long, to mellow the vinegar.
- Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and whisk in the butter.
- Remove the chicken from the oven; add any collected juices to the sauce.
- At this point, either add the chicken to the sauce in the pan and simmer a few minutes, to absorb a little of the sauce, or divide the chicken among four plates and spoon the apple, onion and pan sauce over each piece.
- Sprinkle with the parsley.
