Slice apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Add 1 tablespoon of chicken broth to apples to prevent browning.

Turn heat on to medium. Add onions and apples. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add remaining chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Place chicken on top of onion-apple mixture. Pour jelly mixture over chicken. Cook covered with lid tilted for 20 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 180°F.
