Autumn Chicken with Apples and Sweet Potatoes

Since last Saturday was the autumn equinox, I decided I'd be seasonal and make a healthy fall meal.

Here we go.  It was DELICIOUS!

First I coated chicken breasts with my favorite herb mix.

Then I cubed (more or less) some sweet potatoes and dumped them on top of the chicken.

Next was some chopped vidalia onion.





I let it cook a bit, then added in a mix of Granny Smith and Gala apples. The Granny Smith gave it a nice tartness.

I sealed it all in foil and parchment and baked.  (Apology: my oven is so unpredictable that I can't really offer times or temps, but you're all experienced enough cooks to figure out what works in your oven.)

The final verdict - YUM!

But before I say goodbye to summer, I wanted to show these flowers that have been growing wild down the block from me. I just love them. They started out really tiny in the summer, but they've grown so now they're almost waist high!. They close up at night and open again in the morning.

You can see they spread across the sidewalk.
You can also see Fenway's head!

Photos don't quite do it justice.
