Apple Cinnamon Chicken

Oh this Apple Cinnamon Chicken was a hit this holiday. I took it to the office when I shot the recipe initially and the feedback was “Can we have more?” My co-workers were desperately asking for the recipe so instantly, I knew it would be a hit with everyone else. Sometimes, I like to live in my bubble of recipes that work and realities like this confirm it for me. I need to reiterate that this is not always the case. Everyone does not always like the recipes I have to offer. So much so they do not hesitate to let me know lol…..Ah well whats new?

“If sweet and savoury are not your speed, this recipe is not for you!”
