Apple Jack Chicken

Submitted by GREG IN SAN DIEGO

"This is an incredibly quick and easy to prepare dinner dish that's surprisingly tasty. I got the recipe from a busy Mom who works full time and comes home to prepare dinner for a family each night.My modifications were minor. It's perfect for one of those times when you just don't have the energy to prepare something special."

I really loved this combination! I wouldn't have thought to combine cheese and apples on chicken but it was amazing, my boyfriend and I will be making this again for sure.<br/>I did swap the curry powder for montreal chicken spice though and it was good. <br/>It was really quick and easy and the end result looks and tastes gourmet. Thanks for this recipe Greg!
