From Cooking Light The apples create a flavorful chunky sauce. Feel free to leave bits of peel on the apples to make this rustic dish even more colorful. Ingredients:
5 cups apples, chopped peeled (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
4 garlic cloves, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
8 skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds) |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
chopped parsley (optional) |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 475°.
2. Combine first 5 ingredients. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss well to coat. Spread apple mixture on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray.
3. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, and arrange on top of the apple mixture. Bake at 475° for 25 minutes or until chicken is done and apple is tender. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
4. Partially mash apple mixture with a potato masher, and serve with chicken. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
5. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 thighs and about 2/3 cup apple mixture).
