Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups apple cider
- 2 apples, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
- Rice or crusty bread for serving
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.

- Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve the chicken with the cider sauce over rice or with crusty bread, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in apple cider for a couple of hours before cooking. Adjust the sweetness of the dish by using a sweeter or drier apple cider based on your preference.
