Harvest Apple Chicken and Rice image

This recipe is very easy and quick to throw together. I came across it on the Rice-a-Roni website. My 4 yr old couldn't stop eating it! "This is a pretty good dinner, Mom!" This can be made on the stove top or baked in the oven.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.

I'm not a big fan of apples in savory dishes, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The apples added a nice sweetness and crunch to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.
