Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 2 tablespoons mustard
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cup white wine
• 0.5 cup applesauce
• 0.25 cup half-and-half cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides with pepper; cook the chicken breasts in the butter until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 7 minutes each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the breasts from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

Stir together the onion, parsley, applesauce, wine, mustard, and half-and-half in the pan; bring the mixture to a boil and cook about 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan; add the walnuts. Allow to cook until the chicken is warm, 3 to 5 minutes.
