Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large red onion, cut into large pieces
1 sweet cooking apple, cored and cut into large pieces
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 handful fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Directions

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 8 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. 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. Divide the chicken among four plates and spoon the apple, onion and pan sauce over each piece. Sprinkle with the parsley.

Second time
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm making this again and I hope it comes out as good as last time. If the vinegar is too strong you used too much. The... amount they say to use is perfect. Read more

Pretty delish
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

At first I bite I thought, "just ok", but it got better with each bite and I found myself thinking about how good it was... later. I definitely suggest following the directions as far as cook and simmer time and cutting the chunks of apple and onion on the large side. I served this with mashed yams and green beans. It made for a good fall meal.Read more

Next time I think I will cook the chicken a little longer in the frying pan before moving it to the oven.

Gross!!!!!!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I like to try different foods and change it up a bit, but this dish was terrible. The apple cider vinegar was strong and... ruined the flavors of the apple and red onion. I would think they would have a good recipie on the food network website but this was sad. I didn't finish my meal it was so bad, and I followed the directions exactly. Please save your money and don't waste your food making this dish. Read more
