This was so easy yet so delicious. The flavors blended great together. I'll bet this would be good with pork chops, too. I used Golden Delicious and they fell apart somewhat but no on cared. Thanks for a keeper!

Delicious, idiot-proof recipe! I am NO chef, but this one turned out brilliantly! (It was a good way to use up some apples I had left over that were a bit past their prime...) Great leftovers too!

Wow.....If I do say so myself, this dinner was great! I made this last night for my son and new girlfriend and they both gobbled it up! I also served a mixture of oven roasted veggies....yum! I could almost hear my son purring! Hubby commented that it was good but I didn't make enough! So I'll have to increase the quantity next time! Only change I made was the apple cider...I didn't have any. So I used white wine....I added that and a few capers to the sauce for more zip, threw in the apple and onion mixture after the sauce thickened, added the chicken to absorb some of these flavours...and wow! Outstanding meal! Thanks, Derf.....this meal is much too good just for the fall.....it's a year round winner!

My family and I loved this chicken dish. The sauce is bitchin'. The flavor of chicken and apples is a new discovery for me and one that I find extremely yummy.Thanks Dorothy. You are so right, this is a wonderful fall recipe.
