Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Chicken: Gently pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place flour in a large resealable bag, add chicken breasts one at a time, and shake to coat evenly. Remove and shake off excess flour. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

02

Step

Render the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Sear the Chicken: Add butter to the reserved bacon fat in the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F), about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove from skillet and keep warm. (Cook time: 8 minutes)

04

Step

Sauté Aromatics: Add apple slices, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-4 minutes. (Cook time: 4 minutes)

05

Step

Create the Pan Sauce: Stir in chicken broth, apple cider, rosemary, and lemon juice. Cover and simmer until apples and onions are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove apple and onion to a plate and keep warm, leaving pan juices in the skillet. (Simmer time: 4 minutes)

06

Step

Reduce the Sauce: Bring pan juices to a boil and cook until slightly reduced and the flavor has intensified, about 3 minutes. (Reduction time: 3 minutes)

07

Step

Combine and Serve: Return chicken, apple, and onion to the skillet, and reheat briefly until warm. Serve immediately, garnished with the flavorful pan sauce and crispy bacon. (Reheat time: 2 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, try using smoked bacon.
If you don't have fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary can be substituted.
A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the sauce even more.
