APPLE DIJON CHICKEN SKILLET

I found this while idly perusing a cookbook at my sister's house--I'm not sure which book (doh!). This is fairly unique to me, and I think the flavors just work together beautifully. It was just okay as written, but for us mixing in the rice (instead of serving separately) and the addition of 1/2 t salt really made the meal.

Tips:

For a crispier chicken, pat the chicken breasts dry before searing them.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the chicken for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
Make sure to use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples.
If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
Serve the chicken and apples over rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
