Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2
Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear on both sides until lightly browned (approximately 2-3 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let the chicken rest on a plate while you prepare the vegetables and apples in the skillet.
Step 4
Add the celery, onions, carrot and apples to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the onions start to get tender, about 5 minutes. Add the curry, cinnamon, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chicken broth and the apple juice and stir to combine.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts on top of the apple mixture in the skillet or casserole, cover with lid and place in the preheated oven.
Step 6
Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until done. Serve the chicken with the apples and vegetables and pour the liquid from the pan on top of the chicken breasts.
