Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 large Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the chicken breasts. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown but not cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced apples. Sprinkle with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the apples start to soften slightly.
Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them among the apples.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet to help create a sauce as it bakes.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Apple Swiss Chicken with the sautéed apples and any pan juices drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
