- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 1 Granny Smith apple sliced thin
- 1 Tablespoon thyme
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup applesauce
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
In a skillet on medium heat, heat olive oil and then add chicken.
Season chicken with thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring chicken frequently for about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and sauté for about one minute. Next add apples and onions to the skillet and stir.
Mix in the applesauce and chicken stock. Cover skillet and simmer for 8 minutes.
After 8 minutes, using a meat thermometer, check to see that the chicken is cooked to 165 °F.
When chicken is fully cooked, add Dijon mustard to the skillet and stir to combine. Serve warm.
I prefer to use Granny Smith apples for this recipe, but any apple will be fine.
You can use chicken tenders or leave the chicken breast whole, if you don't want bite-sized pieces. I prefer bite-sized pieces in this recipe because they are quick to cook and easy to eat.
