Caramelized Chicken with Apples

This is such a fabulous way to cook chicken and so simple. Caramelized Chicken with Apples is quick enough for a midweek meal and fancy enough to serve to special company.

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup butter
3 apples, peeled, cored and cut into ½-inch slices
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons maple syrup or pancake syrup

Directions

Place chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap; with flat side of meat mallet, pound to flatten chicken to ½-inch thick.

Place flour on a small plate, add salt and pepper. Dip chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 5 to 6 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once. Place on platter; cover loosely with foil.

Add the apples to the same skillet, cook 2 to 3 minutes without stirring or until lightly caramelized. Stir apples, cook 1 more minute. Stir in the lemon juice. Add the maple syrup, stirring to combine. Serve sauce and apples over chicken.
