Chicken breast with caramelized apples and onions

20 minutes
Chicken breast with caramelized apples and onions is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of meat with a sweet-spicy fruit-onion caramel. The idea of pairing meat with fruits comes from French gastronomy, where such combinations are considered classics. Caramelized apples add a light tanginess, while onions and garlic provide depth of flavor. The preparation is simple yet impressive: golden breast infused with spice aromas is complemented by soft fruits sautéed to sweetness. The dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a festive feast. The harmony of flavors makes it versatile – it pairs wonderfully with light salads, mashed potatoes, or rice. Each bite is a balance of textures and aromas that leaves a pleasant gastronomic impression.

First, season the chicken breast and fry it on both sides. I even sprinkled a little sugar (frying can be done in any oil, it's tastier in butter).

We slice the apples into wedges, the onion into rings, and chop the garlic finely (or use a garlic press).
