Apple Thyme Chicken
Apples and chicken may seem like an unusual combination, but they make a wonderful meal when grilled to perfection. The thyme chicken marinade gives a boost of flavor and tenderizes the meat nicely. —Peter Halferty of Corpus Christi, Texas

simple for beginners and so yummy
I made this with the apple juice, cider vinegar, oi & fresh thyme & only marinaded for 1hr then grilled on the grill (I made sure I made enough marinade to cover the breasts completely in a bowl). I poured some of the marinade over the chicken while cooking and drizzled honey over it too. I didn't make the apples or the sauce. My family really enjoyed the chicken. This was was so much easier then all the steps they wanted you to do. I did cut the entire breast in half so the marinade would go into the meat easily. This is a keeper for us. Fresh thyme is the key too for a great taste. I used about 2-3 tsp of fresh.

The chicken turned out good, the apples were okay. Will make it again, maybe without the apples?!?
My whole family enjoyed this meal. The chicken was moist and the apples were delicious. This was one of the first meals I made after going on a low sodium diet, and I'll make it again.
the chicken was ok. but the apples were gross!! i will not make it again.
