ALMOND CHICKEN WITH APRICOT SAUCE

Almond Chicken with Apricot Sauce image

With its fruity, slightly sweet apricot sauce, this tender chicken entree is full of flavor, not fat. When my children were all at home, they would rate a new recipe on the scale of 1 to 10. This is one of the 10's. -Erma Yoder, Millersburg, Indiana
