HELPFUL TIPS: While this wasn't "bad," my company and I all thought the "pistachio chicken" and "bourbon pecan chicken" from this site were both 10x better recipes ...and a better choice of nut with chicken. I highly recommend trying them if you like nuts! This is coming from people who prefer and love cashews the most!! So, we won't be putting this on our regular cycle of dishes for our weekly get-togethers. Didn't pass the taste test in our cooking club that meets monthly either. I tried several times to give this a chance. It's just "okay."

This is a great recipe to make when you have no time to prepare a meal. Fast, easy and very little ingredients. I would give looks and presentation 5 stars, and taste 3.5 stars. Very good change though. Will make again. Thanks

I was a little skeptical about the combination of Apricot preserves and Dijon Mustard, but this was delicious and the cashews added a really nice, crunchy texture to the dish. My only complaint was in the execution. I was hoping this would be quick and easy, but it took forever (about 20 minutes) for my preserves to melt down, and even after 20 min it wasn't completely smooth, and I had a terrible time getting the cashews to stick to the chicken. Well worth the effort though, as the results were fantastic. I'll definitely make this again, with a few small changes suggested by some of the other reviewers.

This is now one of my quick dinner staples. It is easy to make and very tasty. There are times I make it and omit the cashews. Still delicious! Also tastes great if you substitute the chicken with pork.

i used an apricot-ginger preserve for this dish; i doubled the whole recipe and let the chicken sit in the sauce for a hour or so before cooking it all together. i made this for a large dinner party at my parents house, and it was a raging success. thanks for the great recipe!

No one really liked it, not as good as the reviews. Coating was soggy and the chicken was dry, go figure!

This recipe is fantastic. The sauce is VERY sweet - I did as otehrs suggested and spooned the remaining sauce over the chicken after baking, however I thought this was a mistake - much too sugary for my taste. The sweetness is already baked into the chicken - no need to add anymore. Overall a great recipe though!

FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC. I found this recipe for my husband (who ended up making the dinner, not me) and we LOVE it. We haven't changed or added a thing and have passed it on to others.

this was good, it was pretty sweet, at least I didn't want dessert, lol!!! i made it exactly as the recipe said, but like another I cooked my chicken on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet, very good idea!!!

OK so I didn't follow exactly and I hate when people rate without doing so, but the only substitution I made was I used orange marmalade for the apricot preserves. It's what I had. Anyway, this makes a great sauce. I'm a cashew lover, but they didn't seem to do anything for me in this. Enjoyed the chicken, but I put the leftover sauce over a porktenderloin stuffed with a cranberry sage dressing and it was even better! A great addition to pork!

I add a little water to the leftover sauce, bring it to a boil, and serve it over the cooked chicken.

I have made this recipe numerous times as directed, and it's always a hit. I serve over a bed of Vermicelli Rice Noodles, and a side of either Stir Fried or Steamed Veggies. Give it a try - I think you'll enjoy it.....

The sauce was very good (tastes a lot like sweet & sour sauce), but I couldn't get the cashews to stay on! The apricot preserves are pretty expensive too (you need 2 jars). I will probably make this again, but only as a dipping sauce.

Tasty--if you like your meat sweet.

This was SO easy and delicious! I especially loved the extra sauce to put over the top. The only change I made was that I used chicken tenders instead of breasts. I will DEFINITELY make this again and again!

This was a very good recipe. The chicken was moist and tender. The cashews made a nice difference. The family loved it. I didn't change a thing. Thank you!
