Chicken Thighs with Roasted Apples and Garlic

The apples create a flavorful chunky sauce. Feel free to leave bits of
peel on the apples to make this rustic dish even more colorful.

5 cups chopped peeled Braeburn apple (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
Cooking spray
8 chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), skinned
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Chopped parsley (optional)

Preheat oven to 475 F. Combine first 5 ingredients. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt;
toss well to coat. Spread apple mixture on a jelly roll pan coated with
cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, and
arrange on top of the apple mixture. Bake at 475 F for 25 minutes or until
chicken is done and apple is tender. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
Partially mash apple mixture with a potato masher, and serve with chicken.
Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 thighs and about 2/3 cup apple mixture)
