This Rosemary Apple Cider Chicken features tender chicken breasts glazed with a sweet and fragrant sauce made from apple cider, Dijon mustard, honey, and fresh rosemary, creating a cozy, fall-inspired dish perfect for a comforting dinner.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the apple cider, Dijon mustard, honey, and fresh rosemary. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly and develop flavor.
  3. Glaze the Chicken: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a glaze.

Notes

  • Pair this dish with mashed sweet potatoes for a comforting, fall-inspired meal.
  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Fresh rosemary can be substituted with dried rosemary, reduce quantity to 1/2 teaspoon.
