Steps:
- 1. In a large skillet (I use my electric skillet) over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts to taste. Place in the skillet and cook, covered, for 40 minutes.
- 2. In the meantime, prepare the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
- 3. In a small saucepan, place chicken broth, brown sugar, spicy brown mustard and apricot preserves. Over medium heat, stir mixture often until heated through, about 4 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until chicken is done. Sauce will thicken as it stands.
- 4. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with the wild rice.
