Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the apples and onions. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and cinnamon.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil. Sauté the onions, apples, and cherry tomatoes until fragrant and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and apples. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Notes
- Use a large, heavy-bottomed skillet for even cooking.
- Feel free to add a splash of apple cider vinegar or balsamic for extra depth.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of freshness.
