How to Make Baked Chicken With Apple Sherry Sauce
- Sprinkle 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon salt on both sides.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove from refrigerator and cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise.
- Place each chicken piece between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
- Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate in the preheated oven to keep warm.
- Pour 1/2 cup dry sherry into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sherry is reduced by half (about 2-3 minutes).
- Stir in 1/2 cup chicken broth and 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the sauce is reduced by half (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, and 2 tablespoons Marsala wine. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the sauce has thickened slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning any accumulated juices from the plate over the chicken.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes per side, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- Serve immediately, spooning the apple sherry sauce generously over the chicken.
