I haven't posted any recipes in a while so I thought I'd share this one. It's a definite favorite!
Ingredients:
4 (5 oz) skinless boneless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup onion, diced
4 strips bacon, diced
1 Golden Delicious apple (unpeeled), cored and cut into chunks
1 Tbsp fresh chopped thyme, or 1 tsp dried
1 c apple cider
1/4 c chicken broth
------------------------------------------------------------------
Rub the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and tender, about 4 minutes on each side; transfer the chicken to a plate.
Add the onions and bacon to the skillet. Cook until the onions are softened and browned, about 8 minutes. Add the apple and thyme; cook until apple is tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cider and broth. Raise the heat to high and cook until the sauce boils and thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet briefly to heat through. Enjoy with your favorite side dish!

I cook my bacon first and add it back in with the chicken because I like my bacon crispy. If I can't find apple cider at the store, then I just use apple juice and some cinnamon. It tastes the same to me. If you try it and like it, let me know!
