Steps:
- Season the chicken with the allspice, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
- Add the apples, onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the lemon juice to the skillet and cook, scraping up any browned bits, 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Arrange the chicken on top of the apple mixture. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly reduced, 6 to 9 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil in a separate large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the chard stems and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves; cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Serve with the chicken and apples.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken that weighs between 3 and 4 pounds.
- Spices and Seasonings: Use a flavorful blend of spices and seasonings to enhance the taste of the chicken. This recipe suggests a combination of cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can adjust the spices according to your preference.
- Prep the Apples: Cut the apples into wedges or slices of uniform size to ensure even cooking. Removing the core and seeds is recommended.
- Stuffing the Apples: Stuff the apple slices into the chicken's cavity. This not only adds flavor to the chicken but also keeps it moist during roasting.
- Roasted Perfection: Place the chicken on a roasting rack set over a baking sheet. This allows the chicken to cook evenly and prevents it from sitting in its juices.
- Basting and Tenting: Baste the chicken with the melted butter mixture every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful. Tent the chicken loosely with aluminum foil during roasting to prevent over-browning.
