This delicious fruited chicken dish is great for guests, providing warm soft apples as comfort food along with a good dose of protein – all in one dinner.

My entire family loved this chicken. We were going to walk on the beach today so I put it in the crockpot so it’d be ready when we got home (it wasn’t crispy but the flavor was amazing!) We put the chicken in a salad with romaine, feta cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette. I served the apples on the side but everyone added them to their salad. Also served the nutty bread as everyone likes some kind of bread/roll with their salad. This is definitely a keeper!!!
Thanks so much for all the ground work you do so we can enjoy these wonderful recipes!

So, all we had in the refrigerator was some turkey breasts, so we cut them up and put them in a casserole dish with all of the other ingredients… DELICIOUS!!! This will become a regular meal for us! Thanks!

This recipe is idiot-proof and I make it all the time.
Those pan juices over roasted potatoes? The bomb.

I made my first chicken this weekend and am so glad I chose this recipe! I had a friend over to do yard work and quite literally left him for the ten minutes it took to prep this meal. It took care of itself while we worked up and appetite and we had an amazing dinner as our reward! Paired it with a spinach salad tossed with greek dressing (of course) and couldn’t have been more satisfied!

tried this recipe except a T of salt seemed way to much so I used less than half and I still thot it was way too salty. Is that the amount you really use or was it a typo? Thank you, Shelley PS I love the brownie recipe

I made this chicken this week and we all loved it! I noticed (I think on the TK website) the comments about the chicken getting really black, maybe from the balsamic. I used white balsamic on mine and it turned a beautiful golden brown. We especially loved the tangy gravy made from the drippings. I posted this on my blog, and I’m so glad I found yours. We’re not a GF family, but try to eat less wheat anyway. Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas!

I have made this chicken 3x for non GF friends and gotten rave reviews every time. Great recipe. The combination of apples and Balsalmic Vinegar is wonderful.

This was my first attempt at ever cooking an entire chicken and I did it without the support and help of my Home-Ec teacher mom. I was so proud of myself; it turned out to be super easy and came out wonderfully. Thank you for creating delicious gluten free recipes that both myself (who needs gluten free) and my boyfriend (who loves his gluten) can enjoy together.

Elana,
Just had to tell you that I recommended this recipe for at least the 100th time since I first discovered it. I’ve served this at dinner parties, passed it along to my best friends, and taken it as part of a meal to a mother with a new baby. Every time your recipe gets rave reviews. And right now, I’m planning on making it again this weekend for another friend. Just thought you would want to know. I share so many of your recipes and I love that they are simple and delicious. You’ve made my life the much more delectable with each of them. Thanks!
