Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
In a bowl, combine apple cider, brown sugar, chicken broth, and chopped rosemary; stir until well mixed.
Place the seasoned chicken in the baking dish and pour the sauce evenly over them.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes; remove foil after 20 minutes for browning.
