Tender chicken breasts are combined with the sweet and tangy flavors of apple butter in this Paleo-friendly recipe for Apple Butter Chicken. It's a filling and tasty dish that's ideal for a quiet evening.

Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 1 cup unsweetened applesauce. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 medium onion, thinly sliced. 1 medium apple, thinly sliced. Fresh parsley for garnish.

Instructions: Mix the applesauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. To make the apple butter sauce, thoroughly mix. Transfer half of the apple butter sauce to a resealable plastic bag containing the chicken breasts. For optimal effects, marinate the bag in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight. In a big skillet set over medium-high heat, warm up the olive oil. After removing it from the marinade, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook the chicken for five to six minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and no longer has any pink in the middle. After removing it from the skillet, set the chicken aside. Add the apples and onion slices to the same skillet. Saut them for approximately five minutes, or until they soften and start to take on a hint of caramel. Over the onions and apples, drizzle the leftover apple butter sauce. Once thoroughly combined, simmer for two to three minutes to ensure it is thoroughly heated. Add the cooked chicken breasts back to the skillet along with the sauce made of apple butter. To fully heat the chicken, spoon some of the sauce over it and simmer it for a further two to three minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Savor your Apple Butter Chicken that is Paleo!
