Baked Chicken w/ Cinnamon Apples

Nothing beats baked chicken. I think it’s the best way of cooking it! This recipe is a great way of using up your apples and taking it in. The apples and onions blend so well with the cinnamon and chicken you’ll remember me when you take your first bite…Okay that’s weird (just kidding) lol. No but really this recipe is a must! Representing fall and the fruit that is in full season….Apples!! Enjoy.
