How to Make Apple Pie Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and pierce each several times with a fork.
  3. Rub 1 tablespoon ground ginger into both sides of each chicken breast until lightly coated.
  4. Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x11 inch baking dish with 1/2 cup apple butter.
  5. Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Cover the top of the chicken completely with the remaining 1/2 cup apple butter.
  7. In a small bowl, moisten 1/2 cup rolled oats with 1/4 cup warm water for 2 minutes. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken.
  8. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon ground cloves evenly over the oats and chicken.
  9. Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
