Apricot-Lemon Chicken image

Chicken spread with an apricot and lemon sauce is elegant enough for company and a snap to make. I got this recipe in college and have used it to woo my friends and family ever since. It is very healthy as well, so it is something I can add to my regular menu rotation. -Kendra Doss, Kansas City, Missouri

I followed the recipe exactly and my chicken came out dry and overcooked. The sauce was also too sweet for my taste. I would not recommend this recipe.
