Quick Apricot Chicken
This simple apricot chicken is one of my favorite dishes. Everybody just loves it and leftovers are always just as good the next day. For variation, Iíve used pork instead of chicken and added additional ingredients like pineapple, mandarin oranges, snow peas and broccoli. Dovetailing Tips: Cut up an additional 1 1/2 pounds of chicken in 1/2 inch chunks to be used on day 4 in Soicy Chicken Nuggets.
