If you love roasted chicken, this tender Apple Cranberry Chicken Skillet is the perfect autumn dinner. Fresh apple cider, chicken broth, cranberries and apple slices, savory country mustard and caramelized brown sugar create a perfectly sweet and savory sauce. One skillet and so many layers of flavor create a fabulous and easy weeknight dinner! FRESH APPLES & CRANBERRIES...Fall is the season for both of these autumn favorites! I buy fresh cranberries by the bag - the bigger and fresher, the better! Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and bright red. Keep them in the fridge - or throw the bag in the freezer to save for another day. My favorite apple for this recipe are Sugarcrisp, but you can use your favorite baking apples - just make sure to use apples that are firm and crisp, have a firm consistency and don't mush up when baked, and have a delicious strong apple flavor. Granny Smith apples will give you a tart flavor, and it's great to mix up one tart and one sweet in this recipe. Braeburn and Pink Lady apples also work well for baking in both sweet and savory dishes. APPLE CRANBERRY CHICKEN SKILLET RECIPE SECRETS...
