Ingredients

4 (4 oz) skinless boneless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced

1 tablespoon Packed dark brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground pepper

1 Medium onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings

1/2 cup Apple cider

1/4 cup Cider vinegar

2 cups Hot cooked wide noodles

Preparation

In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Saute the apple until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the brown sugar; cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 3-5 minutes longer. Transfer to plate.

On a sheet of wax paper, sprinkle the chicken with the cinnamon, salt, and pepper. In the skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Saute the chicken until browned, 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to another plate.

In the skillet, cook the onion, covered until tender, 6-8 minutes; stir in the cider and vinegar. Reduce the heat and simmer 2 minutes. Return th chicken to th skillet; simmer, spooning the sauce over chicken, until chicken is cooked through and liquid is reduced by half 4-5 minutes.

Return the apples to the skillet; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Arrange the noodles on a platter; top the chicken mixture, pouring any remaining juices over chicken.
