Maple Glazed Chicken and Apples

Even I was a little unsure of how this was taste; however, thankfully this was a simple and tasty meal. My kids raved over how well the apples paired with the chicken. I served this with baked potatoes topped with shredded cheese, plain nonfat Greek yogurt, and fresh chives.

Ingredients:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces

2 Granny Smith apples peeled and diced

2 shallots diced

2 tablespoons olive oil (I used a cranberry blood orange infused olive oil)

1/2 teaspoon ground thyme

1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (or white balsamic vinegar)

Directions:

1. Heat a nonstick pan to medium heat with the olive oil.
2. Add the chicken and cook stirring occassionally for 5 minutes.
3. Add the apples and shallots and cook for 5 more minutes. Stir to mix
4. Mix the broth, syrup, and vinegar in a bowl.
5. Increase the heat to high and add the maple mixture.
6. Cook on high 3 minutes to allow the glaze to thicken. Stir often.
7. Remove from heat and serve.
8. Enjoy!
