| 2 tsp | vegetable oil |
| 1 pound(s) | uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces |
| 2 tbsp | all-purpose flour |
| 1 large | onion, (s), sliced |
| 2 medium | apple, (s), firm, cored and sliced |
| 1 cup(s) | apple cider |
| 1 cup(s) | fat-free chicken broth |
| 1/2 tsp | table salt |
| 1/2 tsp | ground ginger |
| 2 tsp | cornstarch |
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, warm oil over high heat. Toss chicken with flour in a medium bowl, patting off excess. Place chicken in skillet and brown well on both sides. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
Reduce stove temperature to low and add onion to skillet. Sauté, stirring often, until onion is tender and lightly browned.
Stir in apples, cider, chicken broth, salt, ginger and chicken. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken, onions and apples to a serving dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 to 3 tablespoons of pan juices. Combine cornstarch mixture with remaining pan juices, whisking constantly. Simmer for one minute. Pour sauce over chicken and serve. Yields 1 chicken breast and about 3/4 cup of apple-onion mixture per serving.
Flavor Booster: Pears and chicken are an appealing combination. Substitute 2 ripe Bartlett or Comice pears, peeled, cored and diced for the apples, 1 cup sparkling pear cider for the apple cider and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg for the ginger.
