yummy recipe!!!!!!
i made this tonight and it was a HUGE hit!! Served it with fresh asparagus and zuchinni boiled in chicken stock. Check out the WLS portion/nutritional content. I did not believe it was going to taste as good as it did - but wow! you'd never guess that it was healthy. LOL
Oh - I used SF Smuckers Orange Marmalade instead of the apricot. It only has a slight orange and mustard flavor. the two flavors must balance each other out.. so it's really smooth. the chicken thighs end up super tender and moist.. so they're perfect for us to eat1
