I made this with apricot preserves. Delicious!

I was a little leery of this recipe but thought it was just 'quirky' enough to be good. We were definitely pleased with the outcome. For the jelly, I used Ligonberry sauce from IKEA (as I didn't have any other jelly in the house except for pear and orange marmalade). The sauce turned out a lovely shade of purple and was just wonderful to eat. Will be making this again! Thanks for sharing!

Mmmmm this was nice, I used my own yoghurt and my own plum jelly, it was a nice change as we eat a lot of chicken you are always looking for something different, so this one will be on the menu again and I might use some of my own marmalade. I think that would be a nice combination. And you are right it looks so simple and it is, but you get great results. Well done. Made for PAC Fall 09

This is a quick and easy way to dress up chicken breasts. I went with your first suggestion and used raspberry preserves but next time around I will go with the apricots. With building a good many of our meals around chicken I thought the yogurt made for a really nice change. Thank you for sharing.

this was very good. My picky son even liked it. I made a few changes--used chicken tenders instead of breasts, and used sour cream instead of yogurt. It came out perfect. Definitely a keeper! Thanks.
