     My boyfriend and I were watching Rachel Ray make apricot chicken, and we decided to try a healthy version of it instead. This recipe was great. I replaced the white wine with balsamic vinegar (that's what Rachel Ray used), and it turned out amazing! - 12/10/07

     This really didn't have a lot of flavor in our opinion. It may be because we are used to Thai food and this dish just didn't measure up. I like that the dish is so low in fat and calories, but I really had to doctor it up so that it had some flavor. - 4/15/08

     I served this over brown rice with broccoli on the side, and it was a delicious meal! - 4/9/08

     This recipe was so easy to prepare and cook, fast, and easy, plus it has great flavor. It was excellent with brown rice and a green vegetable. Thanks so much for this incredible, easy and tasty recipe. If you like chicken and apricot jam, you have to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!! - 3/26/07

     Great! I only used 2 chicken breasts, but still used the same amounts for everything else...it gave it some extra sauce and was fantastic with brown rice! Oh, and I used balsamic vinegar instead of the white wine. - 4/14/09

     I tried this recipe and it was really good. I doubled the sauce part so I would have extra. Even my picky husband thought it was good! - 4/3/09

     I made this for dinner tonight! We loved it. I did double the sauce ingredients based on other responses and it was just enough. I also used reduced sugar apricot jam. I served this over brown rice and a side of green beans. Thanks for the recipe! - 3/18/09

     Made this recipe last night for dinner with a few minor adjustments. I didn't have fresh ginger root so to the sauce I added a very slight amount of crystallized ginger root I had on hand, 1 Tbsp of butter and a slight shake of crushed red pepper flakes. Very Good, will definitely make again! - 3/18/09

     I really liked this recipe, but will double the glaze to make it more of a sauce. - 3/8/09

     My family can't get enough of this dish. They want to make it once a week!!! I use peach jam instead of apricot. - 12/3/08

     I substituted teriyaki sesame ginger barbeque sauce for the soy sauce to reduce sodium and it was great. I also added cinnamon like someone else suggested. - 8/20/07

     Maybe I did something wrong but I just wasn't impressed with this recipe. I followed it exactly as written and didn't think there was enough sauce and the flavor wasn't there for us. - 7/13/07
  • ERASURE
     SIMPLY G O R G E O U S ! ! ! I added in a dash of cinnamon as well....and a few dried apricots with a slice of orange on top. - 6/30/07
  • MAMART
     This was delicious. The only change I had to make was I used 1/4 cup peach juice (from a can of extra light peaches in juice) as I did not have any orange juice. - 6/25/07

     This was excellent!
    My picky family couldn't get enough.
    I found as I was starting it that I didn't have OJ, so I used apricot nectar instead. Mmmmmmm, good!
    a definite keeper. - 5/19/07

     This was incredible! I served with quinoa and fresh steamed spinach - what a hit! The glaze (not really a sauce) is just slightly sweet and Asian-inspired. Make sure to really brown the sliced chicken, the flavor compliments beautifully - this is a MUST TRY!! - 4/25/07
