Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil

For the pan sauce

2 medium apples (such as honeycrisp or fuji), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey
¼ tsp salt

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with the 1/2 tsp salt.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts smooth-side down and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
