    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

    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
