WON TON WRAPPED CHICKEN WITH APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE
This is a great appetizer or main dish from "Kosher By Design" by Susie Fishbein. The sweetness makes it perfect for Rosh Hashanah. To make a pareve recipe, replace the chicken with 2 cans of salmon (skins and bones removed). Although this is a very easy recipe, the chicken must marinate for at least 8 hours so start this one the day before. For a healthier option,you can bake these in the oven. Serves 8 as a main course.

Steps:
- For the chicken: In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, salt, garlic, sherry, cornstarch, vegetable oil, and soy sauce. Mix the chicken squares with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- For the wrappers: Lay the won ton wrappers in a single layer. Place 1 square of the marinated chicken in the center of the won ton wrapper. Dab a small amount of marinade on each of the corners. Fold the won ton over the chicken by bringing each of the corners to the center of the square, overlapping slightly, like a squared envelope.

- For the sauce: In a small bowl, blend the apricot preserves, mustard and teriyaki sauce. Serve 4 won tons on each plate with the dipping sauce in the center.
ASIAN CHICKEN CUTLETS
A simple to prepare dish that takes advantage of fresh herbs. From June-July 2007 Rachel Ray. Initially posted this untested but made it for dinner tonight! Some changes I made that I believe resulted in an even better dish (they are noted below with *. I also doubled the dressing recipe and used half to marinate the chicken overnight and saved the other half to pour over the cooked chicken. Delicious!

ASIAN SPICED CHICKEN WITH VANILLA APRICOT SAUCE
I got this recipe from McCormick. This recipe has a unique contrast of flavor, is healthy, uses ingredients that most people have on hand, and is so good! I have altered it a little from the original. I like to serve over rice with crunchy wonton strips on top (original recipe used wonton cups, no rice & served as an appetizer). I double the sauce when I make it because it's that good! I don't know of many asian resaurants that make a dish this great!

History of Asian Apricot Chicken Cutlets
The origins of Sweet and Sour Chicken can be traced back to the Guangdong Province of China. The dish was first introduced to the United States in the early 1900s, by Chinese immigrants settling in San Francisco. Americanized versions of the dish quickly started appearing on menus throughout the country. One such variation was the Asian Apricot Chicken Cutlets. This version of the dish combines tangy apricot preserves with soy sauce and vinegar to create a unique flavor profile.Common Variations of Asian Apricot Chicken Cutlets
While the basic recipe for Asian Apricot Chicken Cutlets remains the same, there are a few variations to consider. One popular variation is to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. This results in a juicier, more flavorful cut of meat. Another variation is to add vegetables, such as bell peppers or pineapple, to the dish. This creates a more colorful and nutritious meal. Finally, some recipes call for the chicken to be breaded before frying, while others do not. The breading adds an extra layer of texture to the dish, but also adds more calories.How to Make Asian Apricot Chicken Cutlets
