APRICOT/LEMON CHICKEN
The breading does not get crispy, rather it combines with the apricot mixture and forms a lovely, soft coating. I like using lots of lemons, but it's a matter of personal preference. For the preserves, I used Apricot/Orange Conserve #116457, which also contains raisins and nuts.

LEMON-APRICOT CHICKEN
Do you love lemon or orange chicken at Chinese restaurants? Then this recipe is for you! It's from Betty Crocker's Bisquick Cookbook. It is divine. The ginger adds a subtle yet distinct tangy-ness to the sauce; I haven't tried it yet, but I wonder if orange marmalade would work as a substitute for the apricot preserves.
