What the heck? The picture shows skin on bone in chicken quarter. The chicken will be almost done after six minutes of sear, another half hour in the oven seems like a real dead bird.

I used chicken breast rather than thighs and made it for 2. It was fantastic! My husband loved it and I will definitely make it again. Next time I will either cut the bake time or temperature because the chicken was a little dry.

OMG this is soooo good! I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, and made 3 large chicken breast and doubled the apples for my family of four. Everyone LOVED it!! Even my pickiest eater!
