Apple Thyme Chicken
A delicious and healthy chicken dinner recipe!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (divided into 4 equal portions)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 or 2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and very thinly sliced
- 1 medium shallot, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- ¼ cup balsamic glaze
- fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer in the prepared dish.
- Arrange the apple slices over and around the chicken. Sprinkle with shallot and thyme; drizzle the balsamic glaze on top.
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until chicken is opaque throughout; cut to test.
- Arrange the chicken on a platter and spoon the apples and juices on top. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme may be substituted for 1 tablespoon fresh.
- Pounding out the chicken breasts so that they're a bit more even in thickness assures more even cooking.
