This was a delicious meal!<\/p>
I did make a few adjustments...<\/p>
I did not stuff the chicken. It seemed like it was an unnecessary waste of time. But, if I were giving a dinner party and had plenty of time to prepare for it, I would likely stuff them because it would make the meal classier.<\/p>
I did not use grated lemon peel because I didn't have any fresh lemons on hand.<\/p>
I used a little bit of dried thyme in place of the thyme sprig.<\/p>
I didn't have green onions, but had leeks and they worked out just wonderfully!<\/p>
Instead of dry sherry, I used Chardonnay (that's what I had available).<\/p>
I don't like walnuts and I don't give my toddlers nuts, so I skipped the walnuts.<\/p>
For the baking portion, I browned the chicken, as the recipe calls for, and then placed the chicken on top of the quinoa mixture and poured some of the apple mixture over all of it. I covered and baked for the recommended time at the stated temperature.<\/p>
This meal was a huge hit in our house and will definitely be prepared again.
