Chicken

APPLE "DUMP" CHICKEN


1 1/2 Pounds Chicken Pieces -- (4 to 6)
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon tarragon
1 Whole apple -- cored and sliced
1/4 cup green onion -- diced

For immediate cooking: Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Place all ingredients into a
large baking dish, turn chicken to coat. Bake until chicken juices run
clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken
breasts).

For freezing: Place all ingredients into a 1 Gallon freezer bag. Lay flat
in freezer.

To thaw and cook: Take the bag out of the freezer the night before, make
sure the baggie is completely closed. Place the Bag on a shelf furthest
from the freezer (It works best if the bag is laying flat, although this
may not be the best option with a side-by-side fridge/freezer). Preheat the
oven to 350 F. Empty the contents of the bag into a large baking dish and
bake until the juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30
minutes for chicken breasts).
