Chicken With Apricot Jam
"This is a really easy, sweet, savory dish. When I first made it I was surprised by the flavor of the sauce. I served it over rice with veggies on the side. I can definately see making a lot of the sauce and using it in a stir fry. Next time I make this, I might try a different flavor jam, just to see what happens. :)
I originally found the recipe on WebMD, and they sourced it from The Art Institute of New York City."

I'm someone who grew up not knowing how to cook. At one point I even burned a bagel in the microwave. On top my cooking difficulties, I'm also gluten intolerant. Basically means I can't have any wheat or barley (and rye, but I've never seen it in anything except bread which also has flour), which makes finding tasty bread an improbable task. So now, I'm trying to find my balance in life. I like cooking, but prep work takes me forever. So every now and then I like to try a new recipe, modify things to fit my dietary restrictions, play with spices. At least I've moved up to only burning bagels in the toaster.
