  • Chicken in Onion and Mustard Sauce

    Ingredients

    1 tablespoon butter
    3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    1 pinch ground black pepper
    1 small red onion, sliced
    1 tablespoon dried parsley
    1/2 cup applesauce
    1/4 cup white wine
    2 tablespoons mustard
    1/4 cup half-and-half cream
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts

    Directions

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides with pepper; cook the chicken breasts in the butter until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 7 minutes each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the breasts from the pan and set aside.

    Stir together the onion, parsley, applesauce, wine, mustard, and half-and-half in the pan; bring the mixture to a boil and cook about 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan; add the walnuts. Allow to cook until the chicken is warm, 3 to 5 minutes.
