Sautéed Chicken with Plum Compote

Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken breast
• 300 grams plum
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme

Cooking instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients — Slice the plums into wedges, finely chop the onion and garlic, and pat the chicken breasts dry. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme.
2. Make the plum compote — Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft. Add the plum wedges, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the plums are soft and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt to taste and keep warm.
3. Cook the chicken — In a separate large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Rest the chicken — Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
5. Serve — Slice the chicken breasts and serve topped with warm plum compote. Garnish optionally with fresh thyme sprigs.
