So we went apple picking this weekend and I have a serious overflow of apples! As I’m working on ways to eat all of these apples I stumbled upon this Harvest Apple Chicken Skillet and it sounded perfect! I will say right off the bat that this takes a lot of prep work. There are so many vegetables and ingredients to chop beforehand that you will need to make sure you set aside time for the prep. But once you’ve completed the prep, the cook time doesn’t take long at all!
As for taste, this is definitely a sweet and savory dish. I would say this dish is decent, but not in my top favorites. I love all the vegetables and the bacon and chicken addition. But the sauce wasn’t quite there for me. I think that a different sauce would take this dish to a whole new level! But still, it was a good dinner and a fun new recipe to try!
Overall Review: 3/5
