Chicken & Apple Fall Stew
Stews make great dinners on chilly nights. This lighter version made with chicken and apples is perfect on a fall night and a nice alternative to the more traditional version. It was also a quick meal for a busy weeknight. I made a Quick Rosemary-Olive Oil Bread to go along with it. The bread paired very nicely with the stew.
