Apples and chicken may seem like an unusual combination, but they make a wonderful meal when grilled to perfection. The thyme chicken marinade gives a boost of flavor and tenderizes the meat nicely. -Peter Halferty of Corpus Christi, Texas

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less apples or a different type of fruit.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect solution. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the apples and thyme added a nice touch.
