Lots of lip-smacking apricot flavor makes this sweet chicken stir-fry from Sharon Warner Sunday-special! “It goes together so quickly,“ she writes from Ada, Oklahoma, “and I get rave reviews whenever I serve it.“

My husband liked it but we both thought it was too sweet. It was missing some thing we just could not put our finger on what it was. It was good my husband said he would have me make it again.
