<\/span>Poached Chicken with Apple Chutney<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Perhaps the old saying \u201cAn apple a day keeps the doctor away\u201d isn\u2019t so far-fetched\u2014well, at least if you bump it up to two fruits daily.<\/span>
<\/div>In a joint randomized controlled study between researchers in Italy and England, 40 participants with mild hypercholesterolemia who consumed two\u00a0apples<\/strong>\u00a0daily for 60 days experienced modest improvements in a handful of cardiovascular disease risk factors, including reductions in total and LDL cholesterol levels and an increase in microvascular vasodilation. Participants who consumed a calorie-matched beverage instead of the\u00a0apples<\/a>\u00a0saw no improvements.<\/span>
<\/div>The dynamic duo of polyphenol antioxidants and soluble fiber pectin in the crispy fall fruit are likely behind these ticker-friendly benefits. That makes this sweet and savory dish a dinner meal your heart will love.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span>Ingredients<\/span><\/h3>
  • 3<\/span> medium-sized apples<\/span> chopped<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> cup<\/span> chopped dried figs or dried plums<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> shallot<\/span> finely chopped<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> tsp<\/span> honey<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> tsp<\/span> fresh thyme<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> tsp<\/span> brown mustard seeds<\/span> optional<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> tsp<\/span> cinnamon<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> tsp<\/span> ground cloves<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> tsp<\/span> lemon zest<\/span><\/li>
  • 4<\/span> 6 oz<\/span> chicken breasts<\/span> boneless and skinless<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> tsp<\/span> salt<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>
    • Combine apples, figs or plums, shallot, honey, thyme, mustard seeds, cinnamon, cloves, and lemon zest in a medium-sized saucepan. Place over medium heat until apples begin to sizzle, reduce heat to medium-low and cook covered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until apple has softened considerably.<\/div><\/li>
    • To poach chicken, place breasts and salt in a pot large enough that they lie flat in one layer, then add enough water to completely cover the meat by about 1 inch. Bring water to a very slight simmer with just a few bubbles breaking the surface, reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until meat is cooked through.<\/div><\/li>
    • Slice chicken breasts and serve topped with apple chutney.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
