Total Preparation Time: 15 to 30 minutes
Ingredients: Chicken & Turkey
Actual Cooking Time: 15 to 30 minutes
Number of Servings: 6
Special Features: Quick to Prepare (under 30 minutes)
Meal Type: Entree

Ingredients

2 Apples, preferably Braeburn, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
3 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 tsp Unsalted butter, divided
1 1/8 tsp Herbes de Provence, (see note), divided
1/2 tsp Salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp Freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 lbs Boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, trimmed of fat
1 cup Reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp Freshly grated lemon zest

Preparation

Toss apple slices with lemon juice and cinnamon in a small bowl. Heat 1 tsp oil and 1 tsp butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.

Mix 1 tsp herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or the bottom of a small saucepan to a 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with the seasoning mixture.

Heat 1 tsp oil and 1 tsp butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and keep warm. Add the remaining 1 tsp oil and 1 tsp butter to the skillet; heat over high heat. Cook the remaining chicken in the same manner.

Add broth, lemon zest, the remaining 1/8 tsp herbes and any accumulated juices from the chicken to the skillet. Cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with sauteed apples.

Cook's Notes

Herbes de Provence is a mixture of dried herbs commonly used in the south of France. You can find commercial mixtures in specialty stores, but it is easy to make your own. Mix 1 tbsp each (or equal proportions) dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, marjoram and savory in a small jar. If desired, add a pinch of dried lavender and crushed aniseed.
