Easy chicken recipe
In this season I am literally obsessed with pomegranates, I have them every day! I add them to both sweet and savory dishes, drink the juice and eat the seeds.
The seeds in particular remind me of red rubies, so beautiful and shiny. Rich in vitamin C and minerals, pomegranates are a great ingredient from all points of view. Today I want to share a very easy recipe for a main course: pomegranate marinated chicken baked with apples.
The acidity of the pomegranate juice combines perfectly with the sweetness of the baked apples and the chicken's fat envelopes each bite of this dish, making it very comforting for these first days of cooler weather.
I used diced chicken because that's what Vittorio had bought, but of course you can use the same recipe for chicken thighs or other cuts. Hope you will like it :)
