INGREDIENTS

  • Seasoning

    • 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 pinch cayenne

  • Primary Ingredients

    • 🧈 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    • 🧅 2 tablespoons shallot or onion
    • 1 1/4 cups apple cider
    • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
    • Sage leaves (for garnish)

STEPS

1

Season chicken on both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne and set aside.

2

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; add sage leaves and fry until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and reserve.

3

Add chicken breasts to the skillet, and cook until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil.

4

Add shallots to the skillet; sauté for 1 minute. Pour in cider and vinegar, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced by half, which will only take a few minutes.

5

Reduce heat to low and place chicken back in, along with any accumulated juices from the plate. Cook for a few minutes, turning occasionally, and basting with the hot sauce until the chicken is hot.

6

Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan, and turn off the heat. Swirl pan until butter emulsifies into the sauce. Taste for seasoning and serve on chicken, garnished with fried sage.
