There are many easy and quick ways to make baked chicken with apple slices. Apples give chicken a unique and delicious flavor, and when you bake it like this, you’ll get super juicy chicken, perfect when served with bread, rice or sweet potatoes purée, because that way you can enjoy the chicken juices. I suggest you use any leftover chicken (if there is any) to make amazing sandwiches with a little bit of mayo and a salad made with radish and seasoned with lemon, or crunchy fresh lettuce leaves. Use different types of apples that don’t break apart while cooking.
