Apple Cider Chicken

Here's the recipe I promised you.

Apple Cider Chicken
Ingredients: 1/2 c. apple cider
1 1/2 t. cornstarch
1 T. honey
1 T. mustard (I used dijon)
1 c. breadcrumbs
2 chicken breasts (I butterfly them, slice them in half)
1 apple, sliced - don't use red delicious or rome apples
1/2 c. chicken broth
olive oil
some flour
2 eggs
salt
pepper
* serve over cooked rice

Directions: Whisk together the cider, cornstarch, mustard, and honey. Set aside.

This is how I always bread my chicken, it never fails me. In a large skillet coat the bottom of the pan in olive oil over medium heat. Set out three plates and on the first put about 1/2 c. of flour, the second 2 eggs beaten, and the third is for the bread crumbs. Take the chicken breasts and dredge them in flour, then dip them in the egg, and finally roll them in the bread crumbs. Cook them in the skillet until they are browned and no longer pink inside. Set the chicken aside on a platter while you make the sauce.

To the same skillet add the apple slices, add the chicken broth and deglaze the pan. Stir everything around and get all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Cook until the apples are soft, but still slightly firm. Add the cider mixture to the skillet, let simmer until thickened and reduce the heat to low. Salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and rice.
