1 cup apple cider

3 cloves
Salt and Pepper

Warm the oil in a large saute/frying pan. Split chicken breasts and shake in a bag along with cake flour and a little salt and pepper.

Saute fillets along with peppers over medium high heat. Salt and pepper them.

Turn and brown on the other side, then reduce heat, add the apples, cover and cook until almost done.

Don't over cook them, or they will be dry and tough.

Cook a few more minutes until sauce has thickened and chicken is heated through.

Serve with apples and peppers over the chicken.

Thank you MamaM for all the wonderful recipes!!! Gotta get busy making as many of these as I can before the rug rats eat them all up!

You're very welcomed! And don't forget - you can always dry some to munch on later.
