Description
This Apple Cider Vinegar Chicken is the ultimate one-pan wonder. Juicy chicken breasts are simmered in a bold apple cider vinegar sauce with garlic, herbs, and a hint of sweetness. The result? A punchy, balanced dish that’s both comforting and refreshingly light.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
Optional garnish: fresh herbs or apple slices
Instructions
Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
Remove chicken from skillet. In the same pan, sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Whisk in chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, mustard, honey, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
Return chicken to the pan. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove lid and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.
Serve with your favorite sides and spoon sauce over the top.
