Quick Apricot Chicken image

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, I've used pork instead of chicken and added additional ingredients like pineapple, mandarin oranges, snow peas and broccoli. -Vicki Ruiz, Twin Falls, Idaho
