Apple Cider Chicken
This apple cider chicken could not be simpler or more delicious. Chicken breasts cook first in sage-infused butter, then return to a sweet-sour pan sauce of reduced apple cider and vinegar. The pan sauce is then finished to glistening perfection in the classic French style with a chunk of cold butter.
