A little too tangy for my taste.

I made this for the first time tonight , I didn't have chunky applesauce but it still turned out good using regular applesauce.

I think I will try to make it again sometime when I have the right kind of applesauce.

Oh my! This dish was absolutely full of flavor. I had four very large chicken breasts so I baked in the oven at 350 degrees for 50 mins. I used Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet and Spicy BBQ sauce. The taste was awesome and the chicken came out so moist, you could cut it with a fork. A Keeper....

This chicken was awesome. Made it tonite along with the garlic parmesan orzo and the broccoli side dish recipie (also from this website). I also didn't have chunky applesauce so I took the advice of another and cut up a small apple and mixed in with regular applesaue. I browned the chicken on the stove but instead of finishing to cook it on the stove I decided to put it in a 350 degree oven and baked it the rest of the time which was about 20 mins. It really absorbed the flavors of the sauce. The six of us in my family really liked the flavor.

So good and so easy! I made it for my boyfriend and now he has the illusion that I can cook.

I used chicken thighs and cooked these in a crock pot for 7 hours on low then shredded. Amazing

Yummy! I used regular applesauce and cut up a medium sized gala apple with the sauce. I only used about 2/3-3/4 teaspoon of chili powder because I was afraid it might be too spicy for my 2 and 5 year old. But it didn't seem spicy at all to me. I definitely make again!
