Apple- Thyme Chicken

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 15 min

Cook Time: 30 min

Apples and balsamic pair nicely to make this very flavorful chicken dish...

Ingredients:

4 large boneless skinless breasts (about 2 pounds)
butter flavored cooking spray
salt & pepper to taste
1 medium Granny Smith apple, cored & thinly sliced
1 minced shallot
1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray 9x13" dish with cooking spray.

2. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer in the prepared dish.

3. Arrange apple slices over and around chicken. Sprinkle with shallot and thyme; pour balsamic vinegar on top.

4. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until chicken is opaque throughout; cut to test.

5. Arrange chicken on platter and spoon apples and juices on top. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

*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.
