Ingredients

  • 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 bacon slices
  • 1/4 C onion
  • 3/4 C unsweetened apple cider
  • 1/2 C chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan.
  3. Add chicken to bacon drippings in pan and cook 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.
  4. Add onion to pan and cook 2 minutes or until tender, stirring constantly. Add cider and broth then bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until broth mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup (about 5 minutes). Stir in cooked bacon and serve sauce over chicken.
