Maple-Baked Chicken with Apples — 5-Ingredient Weeknight Recipe

With cooler temperatures and falling leaves, I felt like preparing a cozy autumn dinner. One of my go-to recipes for the season is Maple-Baked Apple Chicken, adapted from Kraft. It’s simple, flavorful, and perfect for a weeknight or a relaxed weekend meal.

MAPLE-BAKED APPLE CHICKEN

This recipe uses just five ingredients to create a moist, sweet-and-savory baked chicken. Maple syrup, apples, onions, and zesty Italian dressing come together for a comforting dish that’s ready in under an hour. It’s ideal for busy evenings, chilly days, or anytime you want an easy, satisfying meal.

This dinner is straightforward to prepare and finishes in about an hour. The ingredient list is short: chicken breasts, zesty Italian dressing, maple syrup, apples, and onions. I appreciate recipes that are uncomplicated yet deliver great flavor. As Kraft puts it, “Chicken breasts get a sweet and savory kick from apples, maple syrup and onions in this simple comfort food dish.”

Selected reviews from kraftrecipes.com:

“Even after reading all the reviews I still had my doubts. Well, the reviews were correct, this was one of the best chicken recipes I’ve ever made. Chicken was so moist, apples were tender and sweet. Everyone, including our 3 year old grandson loved it. Will be making this again, very soon!”

“Really yummy and easy. Great for fall/winter time!”

“So delicious and SO easy! You probably already have all of the ingredients for this and it tastes so yummy!! Be warned though – you probably need a bit of a sweet tooth to enjoy it!”

“This was amazing! My whole family, including husband and 3 kids ate it all up! Delicious! And very easy to make!”

I served the chicken with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. The pan sauce from the chicken was excellent spooned over the potatoes.
