APPLE-MARINATED CHICKEN & VEGETABLES

Apple-Marinated Chicken & Vegetables image

I actually invented this chicken with vegetables dish at a campground, so you know it's easy. Using the same marinade for the meat and veggies keeps it simple so we can spend more time outside and less making dinner. -Jayme Schertz, Clintonville, Wisconsin
