Expert Tips

Chicken contains vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins, plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.

Check your pantry! Peach or orange preserves can be substituted for the apricot preserves for an equally delicious dish.

You can use a meat mallet, rolling pin or even a wine bottle to flatten chicken breast halves. Just pound each breast down to 1/2-inch thickness. This helps the meat cook quickly and evenly.

The coating was really crispy and the sauce was a delicious flavor. I served with rice and steamed broccoli.
