My four picky children loved it. They asked if we could have the same thing for dinner the next night. I took the advice of one comment and added a little brown sugar to the chicken before baking. Also, I made mashed potatoes as a side and topped with the sauce from the chicken. YUM!!!

This recipe is very tasty! It sounds a little weird but it is really good. However, I didnt boil the chicken because that sounded really bland to me. Instead, I put about a tblspoon of olive oil in a pan and let it heat up. I used chicken legs and thighs. I de-skinned them and lightly salted them and then browned them in the heated oil, about 3-4 minutes per side. Then I followed the recipe but left the chicken in the oven longer to continue cooking all the way.

This recipe is AMAZING!!! I have also used a plum/pear applesauce in place of the apple butter. To add to the sweetness, I added some brown sugar. Just a small amount sprinkled on top of the meat before cooking. It is very tasty on pork chops too. My entire family including my mother in law who is an amazing cook loves this recipe!!!
