Apple Pie Chicken

Submitted by Babushka

"Tender chicken slowly baked in apple butter. . .sure to be a favorite with your family just as it is with mine! This is my own concotion and should prove very simple to make for even the beginner cook. You just may already have all of the ingredients in your home! Just be sure that the chicken breasts are not too thick (more than 1 1/2 inches) or you may need to increase cooking time."

The chicken breast were very tender.....however, the cloves (which I didn't use the full amount listed) was too much for our family's tastes. I *might* try this again and not use any cloves....but haven't decided if I'm that brave yet!

The apple butter was just too strong of a taste. If I make it I will use alot less or will use apple pie filling instead. This was not liked by my family of 4 (3 years, 1 year and two adults).

As Merlot said "an excellent way to prepare chicken!" Nice taste, not quite a pie but yummy and the apple gave it an extra something. Will be making again, thanks
