Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Apple Cider Chicken Noodles.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat and melting 1 tablespoon of butter.
Step 2
Once the butter is bubbling, toss in your sliced apples.
Step 3
Stir them occasionally as they cook, allowing them to turn a lovely golden brown, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
When they’re just right, sprinkle some brown sugar over the apples and keep cooking until they’re tender, which will take another 5 minutes or so.
Step 5
Once done, transfer the apples to a plate and set them aside, letting their sweet aroma linger in the air.
Step 6
Next, it’s time to season your chicken breasts.
Step 7
Generously sprinkle cinnamon, salt, and pepper on both sides of the chicken for a delightful flavor boost.
Step 8
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and add the seasoned chicken.
Step 9
Sear the chicken for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until it’s beautifully browned.
Step 10
Once it’s ready, move the chicken to a plate and let it rest for a moment.
Step 11
Now, let’s bring some flavor to the skillet! Add the onion rings and sauté them, stirring frequently, until they become tender and fragrant, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 12
Pour in the apple cider and a splash of apple cider vinegar, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 13
Allow the sauce to simmer gently, thickening slightly for about 2 minutes.
Step 14
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning that luscious cider sauce over the top.
Step 15
Cook everything together until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, and the sauce has reduced by half, which should take another 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 16
Just before serving, add the warmed apples back into the skillet and give everything a gentle stir to combine those wonderful flavors.
Step 17
To serve, plate up some wide noodles and generously top them with the chicken and that rich, tangy sauce.
Step 18
Don’t forget to add a few of those sweet apples on top for a beautiful presentation.
Step 19
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to warm your heart and delight your taste buds!.
