Cider-Poached Chicken with Mustard and Thyme
Hard cider adds a delicate fruitiness to these poached chicken breasts but without the cloying sweetness of fresh cider or apple juice. Fresh thyme, garlic and mustard are perfect flavor companions to the cider, as are toasted walnuts. Serve this autumnal dish with roasted root vegetables and warm, crusty bread.

Cider-Poached Chicken with Mustard and Thyme
I've made this recipe twice and it's terrific. First time the only change I made was using chicken tenders instead of breasts. Second time I still used chicken tenders but shredded, added the sauce and served them in warm corn tortillas with a salad. Great and versatile recipe.

Easy and healthy chicken
It was really tasty and easy to make. Could be a weeknight dinner. I garnished with tarragon.

I put the dressing/sauce ingredients in a small food processor and emulsify. I like the thicker consistency. I then keep leftovers (I always double sauces) and add balsamic vinegar for a salad dressing. Voila.
