Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup apple cider (preferably unfiltered)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and finely chopped rosemary.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or pan. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the apple cider, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, reducing slightly and thickening. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or honey, depending on your preference for sweetness.
- Return the Chicken: Return the chicken breasts to the pan, spooning the sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Once the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency and the chicken is coated, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top.
