love apples and chicken what could you say more
sounds good!
I love the sweet flavors in this dinner dish and it is one I will definitely try out on my friends.
This sound like one to try. I think mixing different types of apples to make the sauce might even make it more flavorful.
I have to try this! It looks and sounds devine. I love mixing fruit with meats. It's a good spin on things and keeps the kids interested...I made peach pork chops the other night and it was to die for.
This sounds delicious. I will give it a try. / thank you
