‘Apple Pie’ Chicken

‘Apple Pie’ Chicken

Serves 4

4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts 4
¼ tsp cinnamon 1 mL
dash nutmeg dash
non-stick cooking spray
1 ¼ cup apple cider or unsweetened apple juice 300 mL
1 apple (delicious or golden delicious),
unpeeled and thickly sliced 1
2 tsp cornstarch 10 m

Mix cornstarch with a ½ cup (125 mL) of the apple cider and set aside. Sprinkle one side of the chicken breasts with half of the cinnamon and nutmeg. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Place the breasts in the pan, spice side down and brown for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the other side of the breasts with the remaining cinnamon and nutmeg, turn and brown for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add ¾ cup (175 mL) of the apple cider or juice. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer. Poach the chicken for 5 minutes and turn over. Top each chicken breast with a thick apple slice. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until meat is white and juices run clear without a tinge of pink. Add the cornstarch and juice mixture to the pan and blend until sauce is smooth. Cover and cook until sauce has thickened, about one minute.
