How to Make Apple Cider Chicken

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sage.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and milk until smooth.
  6. Add the apple cider and cornstarch mixture to the skillet with the chicken.
  7. Add the apple slices to the skillet.
  8. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has reduced by half.
  9. Remove the chicken and apples from the skillet and place them on serving plates.
  10. Spoon the apple cider sauce over the chicken and apples.
  11. Serve immediately over rice, if desired.
