How to Make Apple Dijon Chicken Skillet

  1. Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions in 3 cups of water.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. While the onion cooks, cut 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides.
  4. Core and slice 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) and add them to the skillet.
  5. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth, 1/4 cup of dry white wine (optional), and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
  7. Crush 1 chicken bouillon cube and add it to the skillet.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
  9. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup of milk. Gently fold in the cooked rice.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
