How to Make Apple Dijon Chicken Skillet
- Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions in 3 cups of water.
- 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.
- 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.
- Core and slice 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) and add them to the skillet.
- Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth, 1/4 cup of dry white wine (optional), and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Crush 1 chicken bouillon cube and add it to the skillet.
- 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).
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup of milk. Gently fold in the cooked rice.
