4 tablespoons butter
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 large red apple, cored and thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup Progresso™ unsalted chicken stock (from 32-oz carton)
1 package (5 oz) baby spinach

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Line cookie sheet with sides with foil.
  • In 12-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry, then rub in salt.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).

Add mustard and stock; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Add spinach, and stir until wilted.
  • Divide sauce among 4 plates; top each with a chicken breast.
