Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the baking dish.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine apple cider, brown sugar, and thyme; simmer until the sugar dissolves.
Pour half of the glaze over the chicken, coating well.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), basting occasionally.
While chicken bakes, mix cabbage, carrots, and apple slices in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Serve chicken drizzled with remaining glaze alongside the slaw.
