Earlier this week I got an email from Cheyenne, one of our Personal Trainers stating she wanted to share this recipe with you.  She had pulled this recipe from Better Homes & Gardens and highly recommended it…

Balsamic Glazed Chicken Tenders

• 1 small orange
• 2/3 c. cinnamon applesauce
• 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. ground cardamon or 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1 lb. chicken tenders
• 2 tsp. vegetable oil
• Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)

1. Finely shred peel from orange; set aside. Juice Orange. In medium saucepan combine applesauce, vinegar, cardamon, juice from the orange, and 1/2 tsp. each salt and black pepper. Bring to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

2. Season chicken lightly with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken; cook until golden brown on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken and add 1/2 cup of applesauce mixture to skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes more or until chicken is cooked through.

3. To serve, top each serving of chicken with some of the applesauce mixture, orange peel, and fresh thyme.
