    Just like Olive Garden's

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I was at Olive Garden the other day and ordered the Venitian Apricot Chicken and when it was served the sauce was very watery... and it was sweet. I didn't care for the sweetness of it and when I made this at home instead of using apricot preserves, I pureed some drained apricots that were in light syrup out of a can. It reduced the sweetness quite a bit. I will make this again. Read more

    Never again

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    Just thinking about this recipe makes me nauseated. It was too sweet and the sauce had a weird consistency. I would never... make this again.Read more

    sweet & delicious

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    made this for my 2 year old daughter, my friend and her 2 year old. everyone ate it and my friend loved it so much that she... wanted the recipe. i took the advice of others and added a bit of cornstarch and the sauce was just fine. i love sauce, and i love sweet. i made brown rice as a bed for the chicken and it made a nice sort of asian dish. because i like spice, i could see adding a pinch of red pepper flake, but the dish is great as-is, even for kiddos.Read more

    Amazing!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Absolutely delicious! I paired it with the butternut squash risotto as suggested in the show and my family loved it! I find... myself making it at least once a month and if it were up to my daughter, I'd be making it every week! Thank you for a great and simple recipe!Read more

    fabulous

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Thank you Rachel....this was easy and delicious. The sauce was not thick enough for my liking so I also added a tbsp of... cornstarch at the end. I did not want to reduce the chicken stock because people said it was too sweet. It makes alot of sauce, but I like to use it to cover my veggies or rice and I hate when there is not enough sauce. I'm looking forward to left-overs.Read more

    Good If You Like Sweet

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    After adding the broth it should probably cook longer than the recommended 15 minutes, i think more like 25 minutes on high... until it thickens to more of a glaze. It turned was delicious served over rice (or so my significant other said), however it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but perhaps using sugar-free preserves would make it less so. The recipe itself was easy to prepare and was inexpensive. I would recommend as an alternative to a fast food place such as Panda Express if you're craving something along the lines of their orange chicken. Read more
