Maple Apple BBQ Chicken & Cheesy Veggies

The chicken was very moist and delicious, and I must admit that I was completely winging it on the cheese sauce, so I am portraying the recipe as to what I would do next time.  The taste was amazing, but the sauce should have been thicker.  Enjoy!

BBQ Chicken

1 Tbsp Butter

4 Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)

Seasoning (Hickory Balsamic, Barbecue, Crushed Rosemary)

1 Cup BBQ Sauce (I used Maple Apple)

1 Apple (Cored & Sliced)

Directions: 

Put the butter in a heavy bottom skillet.  Add the chicken and seasonings.  Cook thoroughly on both sides on med-high heat.  About 10-15 minutes.  Turn the heat down to Low and add the BBQ Sauce and the apply slices.  Simmer for about 5 minutes until the apples start to soften.  Serve and enjoy!
