Apple Chicken

Dinner at Rachelle's!

This week has been full of changes for me. I got a new job in Salt Lake City, Utah and start tomorrow! It's been such a blessing even though I've had to pick up and move my whole life to Utah and leave Derek behind :( But it won't be for too long and we'll be seeing each other often.

Point is, I moved down to SLC today and had dinner at Rachelle's. It was a new dish and after being slightly hesitant of eating cooked apples with chicken, it was actually really good! The recipe is from "Saving Dinner" by Leanna Ely, a great book for quick and easy weekday meals.

So this one's from my sister.

Apple Chicken

1 1/4 teaspoons vegetable oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add chicken and brown on all sides. Add apple slices, saute' 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 the wine and chicken broth, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Mix remaining wine and broth together with remaining ingredients; add to skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sauce thickens.




Serving Suggestions: Baked potatoes, baked butternut squash, brown rice and steamed broccoli.
Serves: 6
