I made this for dinner for me and my boyfriend one night and we loved it! I did cube the chicken and followed some of the suggestions of other reviewers. I marinated the chicken in soy sauce and chicken broth for about an hour and a half before cooking. Also added a bit of lemon juice, cayenne pepper and onion powder. I used 1 cup of apricot preserves instead of 3/4 for a little more flavor. Skipped adding more soy sauce while making the sauce. Served over white rice with steamed asparagus. Will definitely make again!

This recipe was OK, but could be great with a few modifications. First, I cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Also, I added red pepper flakes to add a bit of spice. Also, next time I will use more apricot preserves and double the sauce because there wasn't too much left after the chicken finished cooking, and it is nice to have some when serving with rice.

I thought mine came out a little bland so next time I will be adding more apricot and making the sauce thicker.

This was very easy with few ingredients, and I thought it was excellent! Wish I had made some rice to go with it- but I will definitely make this again!

Yummy and easy. I cut the chicken into strips before adding back to the sauce, and served over brown rice. Just the right amount of sweet.

I really liked this, but the sweet chicken idea is just not for everyone. My family asked me not to make it again.

Everyone loved it! From 5-45! I gave the option of adding raisins and pecan halves to the servings. I also added snap peas to the rice. Very inexpensive meal for a family of seven.

Very good and simple. I was able to cut the recipe down to serve only two and it turned out great.

Fun to try, but probably won't make it again--but it maybe my personal taste.

This was so easy to make. My whole family enjoyed this meal. I served it over white rice with steamed snap peas. If your looking for a meal that you can make last minute and the kids will like than look no further. I will definitely be making this again.

The combination of sweetness from the apricot jam and soy sauce makes for a very flavorful glaze. I used low sugar fruit preserves in the sauce and served it with brown rice and a salad for a healthy and low calorie dinner. Delicious and easy!

This was a great recipe. I added onions and garlic for a savory element. I also dusted my chicken breast with flour and browned them on both sides. Removed them, added the onions and garlic which I sauted then added the broth and the apricot. Added the breast back and let it cook. Everyone loved. Thanks for a great recipe.

I tried making this with orange juice instead of apricot preserves and it turned out horrible. There was not a lot of flavor and what there was, did not taste that great. It could have just been the orange juice though, it might be better with apricot preserves. But it seemed when I added the cornstarch I got little gelatinous blobs floating around and that was VERY unappetizing.

This recipe was okay, but it definitely needed something. It tasted like plain chicken that was slightly sweeter than normal. If I make this again, I will use more apricot, more soy, and less chicken stock.

This was delicious, quick, easy & healthy! The sauce would be great in a stir fry as well, chicken, sugar snaps, onions and even some red pepper for spice and heat. My family was totally impressed with the taste.

I thought this dish was fantastic! It was just sweet enough and so yummy. Super easy to make too. I seasoned the chicken with garlic powder before browning in evoo and also made a little extra sauce. Served with long grain rice. It was delicious and simple and healthy. Can't wait to make this again!

I only used 4 chicken breasts as they seemed to be a little larger. I pounded them first to make it tender then diced them after I slightly browned them. The sauce seemed to be soaked up by the chicken and tasted great but I ended up making a second batch of sauce since there really wasnt any to pour over the rice. I origionally had all the ingrediants on hand but not enough apricot for a second batch of sauce so I used orange marmalade, it was interesting but next time I'll just stick with apricot. The fact most of the juice soaked up could be because I added frozen broccli which was a terrific addition. Next time I'll just double the sauce from the start. It tasted sort of like sweet and sour chicken. My husband said it fantastic and that he loved it and the kids ate it up too yumming all the way without out having a clue about how healthy it was.
