Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
8 slices bacon
¼ cup minced sweet onion
¾ cup unsweetened apple cider
½ cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.
  • Add chicken to the bacon drippings in the skillet. Cook chicken over medium-high heat, flipping halfway, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 12 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate.
  • Add onion to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Pour apple cider and chicken broth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until mixture is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Stir crumbled bacon into sauce and serve over chicken.
