YUM, YUM, YUM!!! I also boiled the marinade to serve with the chicken. I had filleted chicken breasts that only needed to bake about 25 minutes. Perfect! Served the sauce over the top. Loved it.

A great, simple chicken recipe. I heated up the reserved marinade and poured over chicken when done cooking.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I also boiled reserved marinade and poured over chicken at the table. We loved this it had a wonderful flavour and was so simple. I did add a little rice wine vinegar as well and just added a touch more preserves to compensate, I love rice wine vinegar and knew it would work well with these ingredients. A definite keeper RecipeNut we will enjoy this one often. I served mine with Recipe#299060 it was wonderful.

What a great combination of flavors -- sweet, sour and tangy! I marinated my chicken overnight and then baked it. The chicken came out moist and tender, and the marinade made a delicious glaze. I heated up the reserved sauce and poured it over the chicken at the table. This sauce would be wonderful on many types of meat! Thanks for a recipe that had us all wishing I had made more.
