Grape Juice Chicken

This is from my WW cookbook but I changed it a little (including the name) b/c I didn't have all the ingredients!:P

You need:

2 T Veg. oil
1 Granny Smith apple
1 T brown sugar
4 (4 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 t. cinnamon, 1/4 t. salt, 1/4 t. pepper
1 medium onion, thinly sliced and ringed
1/2 c. grape juice (it calls for apple cider, but I didn't have any! I'm sure you can use any type of juice)
1/4 c. apple cider vinegar
2 c. hot cooked wide noodles (I've used other kinds)

1. Over med. heat, saute your apples in 1 T. oil, then sprinkle them with the brown sugar; cook until tender then transfer them to a plate.
2. Sprinkle the chkn. with cinn., salt, and pepper and using the other T. oil, saute them until brown (4-5 min. per side) and transfer these to a plate.
3. Using the same skillet, cook the onion, covered until tender. Stir in the juice and vinegar. Reduce heat and simmer until the liquid cooks off by about half.
4. Return everything to the skillet (chkn, apples) and cook until heated through (2 min?) Arrange the noodles on the plate first with the chicken mixture on top. Pour some of the juice over each peice of chicken/noodles.

1/2 c. noodles, 1 chicken breast, and 1/4 c. sauce = 352 calories which is around 8 points WW.

ENJOY! My whole family found this meal to be very tasty and filling! If you try it leave me a comment and tell me what you think!
