For the next time I make this I will add a little minced onion just to try it out, since others have done that and were happy with the results. I also used a combo of yellow mustard and Dijon because that's what I had on hand. Love that it's quick and easy. I wonder if cutting back on the brown sugar a little will change the sauce too much?","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"09\/16\/2019 23:22","GUID":"222f55bd10ea4552b2be9516da89c8a2","MemberId":4212943,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"carabubble","SubmittedDate":"09\/16\/2019 23:22"},{"Comment":"This was absolutely delicious!

Very good! I only had chicken breasts so I just cut them in half and added a little chopped onion.

In a house with a few picky eaters this was considered a hit! I was told to keep it in my repertoire.

My wife and I both loved this, the flavors were great, and it was quick to make. We added only a tiny amount of brown sugar, and three apples instead of two, honeycrisp instead of granny smith - still great. Make sure to turn the pan down a bit after finishing the chicken, I had it up a bit too high still and burnt a bit of the mustard. Went really well with plain rice.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"","GUID":"dbc229a377ee4b90884af704f24e0834","MemberId":1606316,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"kgelner","SubmittedDate":"11\/03\/2017 04:01"},{"Comment":"

This is really good. I will be making this again. My mom who is a very picky eater would not even look up from her plate until she was done, then said 'Very Good!' It is sweet but not overly. I didn't have tenders so used legs and thighs cooked them through before finishing with the sauce and apples. Next time I will double the sauce and cook the apples til tender crunchy. I cooked the apples a little too long this time around.

My husband and i liked it very much.

This was really good and my whole family loved it. I didn't have any Granny Smith so I used red apples instead but that probably works better for my family.

Made exactly to recipe. Was really good but really similar in taste to a slow cooker maple-mustard chicken recipe we already serve often.

I made this recipe last night. I gave it a 4-star grade because I thought it was a little sweet for our taste. I used apples I had on hand, which were Delicious variety and this could have added to the sweet taste. I thought it was good otherwise and quick for a Tuesday night simple meal. I will make again and use a more tart Apple and cut back a little on the brown sugar.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"02\/11\/2015 12:21","GUID":"3c6cffaf102a4378ae7e1ed4d6ad6b6f","MemberId":4094097,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"cimgraph","SubmittedDate":"02\/11\/2015 12:21"},{"Comment":"

we both loved this! I was in a mood so I added some sliced onion and cayenne to the mix and deglazed the pan with a splash of white wine before adding the apple mix to the pan. the combo of sweet and hot was incredible and the spouse signaled 5 stars and 2 thumbs up.
