Autumn Chicken with Apples
Serves 4
4 Tablespoons olive oil
3 tart apples, thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, sliced
2 Tablespoons fresh thyme leaves pulled off sprig, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup apple cider
4 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 pats butter salt & pepper to taste

Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Add 2 teaspoons of oil to skillet, cook chicken until golden brown on both sides. Add apple cider along with thyme and simmer covered for 8 minutes. Remove chicken and juices to platter and cover to keep warm.
Turn heat to medium/high, add 1 T olive oil and sauté onions and apples for 5-7 minutes. Remove and spoon on top of chicken. Turn flame to high and pour in cider vinegar to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits. Off the heat, add butter, and once it’s melted pour on top of chicken.
Serve with a whole grain like quinoa and sautéed greens- YUM!
