A delightful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a sweet and savory twist, perfect for any dinner occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your dish.
Spray an oven-proof skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat.
Using a nonstick skillet makes cleanup easier.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a nice color to the chicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and arrange the onion slices on top of the chicken.
Slice the onions thinly for even cooking.
Place the apple slices around the chicken in the skillet.
Use firm apples to maintain their texture during baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the honey and Dijon mustard, then pour the mixture over the chicken and apples.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well blended.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's cooked through.
Spoon the sauce from the skillet over the chicken before serving.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
