Apricot Chicken Casserole image

A recipe i adapted from the traditional Apricot Chicken Recipe my mother used to make. I was looking for a dish that had a thicker sauce with no bones that would allow for a less messy dish. with all the flavour of the original.

This apricot chicken casserole was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and tender, and the apricot sauce was tangy and sweet. I will definitely be making this again.
