Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 celery rib, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup apple jelly
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

  1. Sprinkle chicken with salt if desired. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat; brown chicken on all sides. Remove and keep warm.
  2. In the pan drippings, saute onion and celery until tender. Add the remaining ingredients; cook and stir until jelly is melted. Return chicken to pan. Cook, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°. Remove skin if desired. Top chicken with onion mixture.
