1-1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. unsalted butter
2 tart apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chicken stock
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Brush with half the maple syrup. Melt butter in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Sauté chicken breasts 4-5 minutes or until golden. Turn and sauté another 4 minutes until golden and cooked throughout. Transfer to a platter and keep warm. Add apples, stock and remaining maple syrup to same skillet, stirring with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Simmer 4 minutes or until apples are tender and sauce has thickened slightly. Serve chicken with apples and sauce.
