How to Make Apple Sauce Chicken
- Season chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) generously with black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Pour the applesauce mixture over the browned chicken in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve immediately.
- For freezing: Cool completely. Transfer chicken to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat frozen chicken: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Microwave covered on high for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through, stirring once halfway.
