Chicken and Apples in Honey Mustard Sauce
Print Options
I love visiting friends who are terrific cooks. I'm always learning something new. This delicious recipe comes via Heidi, mother of my three fairy godchildren, in Carlisle, Mass. Massachusettes is apple country, so no surprises that Heidi would have found this recipe in the Boston Globe. It's quick, easy, and healthy too.

Preparation time: 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp mustard
- 2 Tbsp seasoned dry breadcrumbs
- 4 4oz chicken breasts
- 1 Tbsp olive oil

Tried this a couple days ago with Fujis. The apples were so-so, but I really liked how quickly this all came together. An easy, tasty dish!
