I cannot rave enough about this recipe! It was wonderful! An inexpensive, reasonably quick meal that tasted gourmet! I did slice the apples instead of chopping. As the apple slices softened, I scraped off the skin. I also cut the chicken into strips so the flavor of the Olive Oil would penetrate the meat better. I will be making this OFTEN! My whole family, even the baby loved it!

Variation - I've made this a second time, for someone who prefers very mild food, and I found that adding a few tablespoons of sour cream to the sauce made the sauce very mild (cutting the acidity) and more substantial. My son liked it much better this way, as well, and I think I like it best, too. :)
