Maple – Baked Apple Chicken
|
Got a bushel of apples on hand? Here’s a delicious new way to use some of
them
Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 medium onion, sliced
2 medium red cooking apples, sliced
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup favorite prepared Italian dressing or homemade Vinaigrette [I like Paul
Newman’s Italian dressing if I’m not making my own]
Method
Preheat oven to 350°
Lightly grease a large nonstick ovenproof skillet; heat on medium – high heat. Add
chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned on both sides.
Remove from heat
Place sliced onion on top of chicken; place apples around sides of chicken. Mix
maple syrup and dressing and pour over chicken
Bake 20 minutes, or until chicken is just cooked and the juices run clear. Spoon
syrup mixture in skillet over chicken just prior to serving
