Apple Mushroom Chicken

This is one of my absolute favorites!! I just love this recipe! The point of blogging my cooking experiences was to try NEW things and see how they work out, but I just had to share this one. I got it from The Healthy College Cookbook which is my FAVORITE cookbook I own!

Now, this Apple Mushroom Chicken is the EPITOME of quick and easy!

THE INGREDIENTS

(okay, so I forgot to take a picture of the olive oil...you know what that looks like!)

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 cup applesauce (note: I used cinnamon once and it was not very tasty. I recommend just plain applesauce.)
• 8 medium mushrooms, sliced (again, I still have those mushrooms that were already sliced, from when I made the pot pie wedges, so I used those and estimated 8 mushrooms worth)
• salt and pepper to taste

THE CHICKEN

1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned lightly on both sides.
3. Place the browned chicken in a casserole dish and cover evenly with applesauce. Sprinkle with salt, cover, and bake for 25 minutes.
4. Add the mushrooms to the casserole dish. Cover (if your casserole dish doesn't have a cover, use aluminum foil!) and bake for 10 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.

YAY OR NAY?

Yay yay yay!! This recipe is AWESOME and turned out great, as usual! I served it over brown rice and made some green beans to go with.
