Instructions

  • Add the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet, then season with salt and pepper.
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, salt & pepper

    2 large apples, 2 medium yellow onions

    1/2 cup apple juice, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 tsp ground mustard
  • Carefully remove the chicken from the oven, then add the fruit and onion mixture to the pan around the chicken. Pour the juice mixture evenly overtop.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes more.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Line the sheet pan with foil first for easier clean up.
  • I recommend using 1 sweet fuji and 1 granny smith but you can use other apples if you prefer based on what you like and what you have on hand.
  • If you want to add a little extra seasoning to the chicken, season it with some poultry seasoning when you sprinkle on the salt and pepper.
