Saute for 4-5 minutes until vegetables begin to brown. Add apples, lentils, apple juice, and chicken broth. Mix well to cover lentils with liquid. Bring to a boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add chicken, skin side up. Cover and bake at 375oF for 1 hour until juices run clear when chicken is pierces with a fork and lentils are tender. Note: To thicken pan juices, puree a few of the cooked vegetables with some of the pan juices in a blender. Stir back into remaining pan juices.
