I appreciate you so much!
To give some fresh flavor to the chicken, I use rosemary in this recipe. You can also swap chicken breasts for the thighs. But I still insist you choose thighs for cooking to give this recipe the best flavor. If you use chicken breasts, be sure to watch the cooking time. Or else you will probably ruin this beautifully tasty chicken recipe! I didn’t peel the apples, but you can do if you’d like to, and you can use a fruit and veggie peeler. Once this one pan food is removed from heat, you will definitely can’t hold on to yourself since it looks fabulous and smells like heaven. The apple wedges caramelizing, juicy chicken searing and apple cider bubbling. Isn’t it wonderful? Plus, rosemary aroma makes your whole kitchen smell like fall.
