And to be honest, I was fairly pleased with the result. Actually, I would have preferred more apricot flavor; so next time I make this I will either pound the chicken thinner so as to make the chicken to glaze ratio smaller, or just save some extra sauce to serve alongside. If you use thinner pieces of chicken, make sure to adjust the cooking time so you don't overcook it.

That looks absolutely fabulous! I was JUST thinking of doing a spicy honey chicken like this, but I love the apricot preserves idea much, much more!
My mom used to make a recipe sort of like this - it was russian dressing (the non creamy kind), apricot jam and a packet of lipton soup mix. It's waaayyyy too aunt sandy for my tastes now, but this looks like a great alternative...
