This is a very simple dish with good taste. I would definately make this again due to easy. The sauce is a bit thick.

Suggestions: Experiment with thinning the sauce, just a tad , with low sodium chicken broth as it is reducing.

I'm going to experiment with making my own apricot glaze with other spice etc. added, if I figure it out and if it is worthy, I'll post it.

Rating: 4.5/5 Quick and tasty.
