I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory sauce.

This recipe is a winner! The chicken was moist and juicy, and the apricot sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I served it with roasted potatoes and broccoli, and it was a complete meal.

Easy and tasty! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it turned out great. I also added a little bit of cayenne pepper to the sauce for a bit of a kick.
