Ingredients

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.
