Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, cornstarch, mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended and set aside.
- Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish.
- Lightly coat each chicken breast with the flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the floured chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the apple slices. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and caramelize slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the apples.
- Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken and apples.
- Add the chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly and coat the chicken and apples evenly.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on a serving platter, topping with the apple slices and generously drizzling the honey mustard sauce over the dish.
- Garnish with any desired herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately while hot, with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Ensure that the chicken breasts are pounded to an even thickness before cooking. This helps them cook evenly and prevents them from drying out.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Choose firm and crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Fuji for this recipe. This will ensure they hold their texture and provide a nice contrast to the tender chicken.
- Be careful not to overcoat the chicken with flour; a light dusting is all that is needed to give the chicken a nice crust.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a little more cornstarch with water and add it to the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve the dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete and balanced meal.
This honey mustard chicken with apples and olive oil is a delightful and comforting meal that will leave your taste buds singing. The tender chicken, paired with the sweet and tangy sauce, and crisp apples create an irresistible combination.
