    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.

    I am a college student and this was an inexpensive, great-tasting, simple meal. It
    was a hit with my roommates as well. I would definitely suggest only using about
    1 1/2 cups of the chicken stock. After I added the stock, I dissolved and added about 1 Tbs of corn starch. It thickened everything to a much more desirable consistency. All in all, delicious.

    Holy moly, this was one of the best dishes ever! It is very sweet, but I loved it. I'm going to make it again next week. i did only use 1 cup of chicken stock and it was still really soupy, so i let it reduce of a while until the sauce thickened up. Don't use the 2 cups of chicken stock as the recipe states. I serves this with toasted pine nut couscous and it complimented the dish perfectly. As usual rachel hits a himerun!!

    After reading the reviews, I cut back on the amount of stock I used. My sauce was still really thin and watery. This dish is more like apricot soup with pieces of chicken. Not only was the sauce way too thin, but it was entirely too sweet. I served it over jasmine rice and I suppose that helped soak up some sauce, but this recipe is definitely not a keeper for me.

    My family loves this dish. We enjoy it so much we decided to make it for our Christmas dinner. It was a hit. I think it may be on the menu for many years to come.

    I LOVE this recipe. I have made it many many times for my family. I had the same problem as many do with the sauce. I found that it was too watery. I have been trying to figure out how to fix this problem. I think I finally figured it out. I actually dredged the chicken in seasoned flour before I browned it. It added just the PERFECT amount of thickening to the sauce.. It was fantastic. I also substituted a little white wine for the vinegar and it was great as well.

    Plenty of sugar though. Hehe. This turned out pretty well. The flavor was not-too-sweet and was wonderful on jasmine rice. My only complaint is that the sauce was too watery, and I let it reduce for quite a while. I didn't think to add cornstarch until after I popped it in the fridge, so missed the boat on that one! Otherwise, very tasty and highly recommended!

    I used about 1 1/2 cups chicken broth. I thickened it at the end with a little corn starch which was perfect because then I had a lot of sauce to put over rice. I think if you would have reduced the sauce by too much it would make it too sweet so I would recomment thickening at the end. I added some slivered almonds because I had them and we loved the crunch. I put in a bit of red pepper flakes just because others had and that was also nice. My husband LOVED the dish and said I should make it for company. I served it with brown rice and broccoli and it was a wonderful meal.

    This is an outstanding chicken dish for all us cooks who have done it all! This is light, easy, tasty, unique.... ummm.

    BTW: I had no fresh apricots, cut down on the broth (good recommendation, adjusted slightly to my own liking and it worked wonderfully! It's a great take on chicken and not to be missed!!! It'll make you AND your guests smile.

    This looked amazing on TV, but it wasn't the greatest dish. I think I would serve it over rice next time to soak up some of the sweetness--it was a mite cloying as it was.

    That said, it was quick and easy to throw together, and not terrible.
