Apple And Lemon Chicken Recipe

Ingredients for Apple And Lemon Chicken

• Chicken Breasts
• 1 large apple (about 1 medium), peeled and cored
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons rice wine
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

How to Make Apple And Lemon Chicken

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Cut 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner pieces. Make 2-3 shallow slits in each breast.
3. Season both sides of each chicken breast generously with salt and pepper.
4. Pour 2 tablespoons of rice wine over the chicken.
5. Peel and core 1 large apple (about 1 medium). Cut into 1-inch cubes. Blend the apple cubes until smooth in a blender or food processor.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the blended apple, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
7. Place chicken breasts in a 4-5 inch deep baking dish. Pour the apple-lemon glaze evenly over the chicken, ensuring each breast is coated.
8. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
9. Switch oven to broil and broil for 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is nicely caramelized and the chicken is golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
