"Apples and chicken may seem like an unusual combination, but they make a wonderful meal when grilled to perfection. The thyme marinade gives a boost of flavor and tenderizes the chicken nicely."
-- Peter Halferty, Corpus Christi, Texas
You Will Need
6 tablespoons apple juice
6 tablespoons lemon juice
4 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
4 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 medium Golden Delicious or other all-purpose apples, peeled and quartered
1 tablespoon honey
Sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 cup apple juice
What to Do
1. In a bowl, combine the first five ingredients; mix well.

3. Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill.
4. Drain and discard marinade from chicken. Dip apples in reserved marinade; set aside. Combine the honey with the remaining marinade.
5. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until juices run clear, basting frequently with the honey marinade.
6. Grill apples, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes, basting and turning frequently or until lightly browned.
