Cooking Notes

Made this with the Fuji apples and used all chicken broth. It came out beautifully and tasted yummy. The apples added a nice flavor to the broth which was turned into yummy gravy. It's an easy recipe with very little work and delicious. It can't be beat!

Boneless is ideal. Remove the breasts 15-20 minutes dish is done to avoid over cooking

Has anyone made this with chicken pieces? Boneless, skinless? How did you do it? Thanks.
