If you do not have coriander on hand you can use ½ tsp dried basil. Also, orange marmalade can be used in lieu of the apricot jam.

I subbed fresh oregano fromt he garden or the coriander as we don't really like the taste of coriander and with the cajun seasoning I must say it added a wonderful taste to the chicken. My 4 chicken breasts weighed just over a kilo so I doubled the crumbing mix but next time will only use 1 1/2 of the mix for 1 kilo of chicken breast, I did not add the salt though as members of the family are on low or no salt diets due to medical conditions. Now my big problem here was as much as I wanted to use the oven cook method for the chicken I knew there would be rejection so I followed my normal and gave a light fry in olive oil to seal and then popped in a low oven (125C fan forced) to finish cooking, result moist crisp chicken. I used the full quantity of the sauce which the DM and I polished off 3/4 of between us (the DH and DS had recipe #175979) but then the DM and I put some of the sauce over our rice which I served with the chicken and some steamed vegetables.
