Recipe Notes
- You could use boneless chicken for this recipe, just reduce the cooking time.
- For even more flavor, sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
Here’s how to make it:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the chicken in an ovenproof skillet or baking pan (cast iron works well). Top with the apples, onions and garlic.
- Pour the wine or chicken broth and apple cider over the top. Sprinkle with chopped thyme and/or rosemary.
- Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven about 40 to 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. If desired, brush the chicken with a little apple jelly during the last 20 minutes of baking.
