Following the recipe to a "t" I felt this was only ordinary. There was not enough apricot flavor. It was just OK.

This was a wonderful recipe. Simple and easy to make. The whole family loved it.... well they did have one complaint, not enough sauce and not enough for 2nds...lol We all loved this recipe, I served this with rice and it was just the thing for an easy dinner. Next time I will double the sauce to make everyone happy! Another great recipe from The Flying Chef. Thank You.

Here's another GREAT WAY TO SERVE CHICKEN, easy to prepare & very tasty! I added 3 finely diced dried apricots to the sauce & served the whole thing over brown rice! Another time I'd like to double the sauce ingredients 'cause it's GREAT! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed as a recipenapped tag in Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #18]

This was wonderful. I made some couscous steamed in broth with green onions and there was enough sauce to mix with the couscous which was great. I also cut my chicken breasts in thin slices before pan frying.
