4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

2 bacon slices, chopped

1/4 C. minced fresh onion

3/4 C. unsweetened apple cider

1/2 C. fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

 

Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan. Add chicken to drippings in pan; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add onion to pan; cook 2 minutes or until tender, stirring constantly. Add cider and broth; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until broth mixture is reduced to 1/2 C. (about 5 minutes). Stir in cooked bacon; serve sauce over chicken.
