How to Make Apple Jack Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in a greased baking dish.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and carefully spoon the pan juices over the chicken.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider pairing with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
