A really great and different way to cook chicken – and it helps you “sneak” in some fruit, if you find it hard to get your family to eat fruit. This recipe works best with a tart apple such as Granny Smith, but really any apple will work. They are suprisingly filling too – serve with a salad or veggies and you’ll be full. It was a hit in my house, and I will definitely be making this recipe again!
