my kids didn't really like it...it was OK, but they pushed aside the sauce

Quick & Easy - Test chicken w/thermometer so as not to overcook.

Delicious! I used 4 tablespoons apricot preserves, 2 tablespoons orange juice, only 2 teaspoons honey and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Have made it in a skillet and also in the crockpot. Doubled the sauce for the crockpot so there would be enough sauce for with rice.

It tastes great! Just be careful to be sure the chicken doesn't overcook because it'll be dry

I didn't have apricot preserves so I used orange marmalade instead. Omitted the honey and used a bit of Dijon mustard. YUMMY!

With preserves, OJ AND honey this is too sweet. I ditched the honey and added lemon juice to cut the sweet and some tang. Wonderful, lighter taste.

i find a splash of soy sauce adds a browned appearance plus cuts a bit of the cloying sweetness. A pinch of dry ginger adds interest too.

We loved this. I used homemade apricot jam. Next time I would decrease the amount of honey and increase the amount of jam for more flavor and the jam already is sweetened. Love this recipe! TFS!
