When I find a recipe I think I would like to try I usually will make some sort of changes as I go. This recipe is probably the only one I have just gone directly by the recipe as written. It turned out wonderful. I have made it many times and it is always a big hit. No need to change anything and so simple to make.

I used chicken tenderloins instead of full breasts, and I left out the apricot preserves. So good: sweet with just the right amount of kick. Just the amount of curry I like.

I liked this. I didn't use the apricot preserves, but I think they would have livened it up a bit. Very simple to make, but not too much bang for it.

Definitely a winning recipe if you love curry powder as much as I do. I made it tonight and it is truly delicious. The only thing I'd do differently next time is to brine the chicken breasts first instead of seasoning them with salt. Yummy!!!

My husband saw this recipe in the magazine and wanted to try it. I did not think I would like it, but it was wonderful! The kids even ate it up too. This will definitely be one that I make again. So simple and delicious.

Easy to make, but did not taste that great. Probably will not try this one again.

A very simple dish to make and very tasty. I usually don't like chicken breast but this I love it. I also use chicken cutlet, so its thinner.
