New Recipe of The Week... Creamy Chicken - Apple Chili

My goal is to try one new reciepe a week. I find it is so easy to get caught up making the same stuff all the time... So I thought a fun way to expand my reciepe book would be try one new thing a week. I also find it that moms that are busy are always looking for something new so I thought I would post the reciepes! I hope you enjoy :)
