Apple Braised Chicken

Adapted from Weight Watchers recipe.



Ingredients:
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 large onion, sliced
2 medium apples, firm, cored and sliced
1 cup fat-free chicken broth
1 cup Mott's Apple Juice
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Instructions:
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, warm oil over high heat. Toss chicken with flour in a medium bowl, patting off excess. Place chicken in skillet and brown well on both sides. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

Reduce stove temperature to low and add onion to skillet. Sauté, stirring often, until onion is tender and lightly browned.

Stir in juice, chicken broth, salt, ginger and chicken. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes, adding in apples halfway through.

Yields 1 chicken breast and about 3/4 cup of apple-onion mixture per serving.
