Recipe: Creamy Chicken with Cabbage and Apples

P3 and P4 LegalIn case you haven’t noticed, this week’s recipes are about cabbage and apples. I had a plethora of both that I needed to use up.

The original of this recipe was to be made with bacon instead of chicken. I opted to try it with chicken, modifying some of the ingredients.

In retrospect, I think it would be better with the bacon, although with the chicken it was most tasty!

As I was enjoying it for lunch, something came to me … it was a memory of a scene from The Brady Bunch where Peter Brady goes into the kitchen and starts with the “Pork Chops and Applesauce” – do you all remember that?

::giggle::

To this day, anytime I have a pork and apples meal, I think of that scene! I am surprised I found it on YouTube!

Ok, enough of the travel back in time bit.

I hope you enjoy!  It’s a very hearty meal, perfect for cool nights.
