Chicken Soft Tacos with Sauteed Onions and Apples

Cooking light yet again.  This is actually much easier to make when the recipe is doubled.  Make sure not to cook the chicken too long so it stays moist and juicy.  The combination of sweet and savory is great on a fall day.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups thinly sliced onion
2 cups thinly sliced peeled Granny Smith apple (2-3 apples)
2 garlic cloves, minced
Flour tortillas

Preparation
  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt, nutmeg, and pepper.  Add chicken to pan; saute 7 minutes or until golden.  Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
  2. Melt butter in pan over medium heat.  Add onion; cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently.  Add apple; cook 6 minutes or until golden, stirring frequently.  Add garlic; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly.  Return chicken to pan; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.
  3. Heat tortillas, spoon chicken mixture into tortillas.
