This chicken recipe is a delightful combination of savory and sweet. Tender chicken breasts are cooked in a creamy mushroom and apple sauce, creating a comforting and flavorful dish. I've been making this for years, and it's always a hit! The apple juice and lemon juice add a bright, tangy note that perfectly complements the earthy mushrooms.
