Ingredients

For the Marinade

1 cup fresh apple cider Use good quality fresh cider for best flavor.
2 tablespoons honey
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce Substitute tamari for gluten-free.
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves Fresh thyme preferred.

Main Ingredients

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil For searing the chicken.

Instructions

Preparation

In a bowl, mix the apple cider, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and thyme together.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Cooking

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each side of the chicken for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet. Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet, bring to a gentle boil, and cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it with the glaze. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F.

Serving

Let the chicken rest for three minutes before serving.

Notes

Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or on a salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container; keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
