Made this for the first time yesterday…and it won’t be the last! So easy and so good! I put it in low carb flour tortillas for dinner last night, and had some over rice for lunch today, and both were excellent! A note for anyone who needs to watch their carb intake: do try to find the sugar free apricot preserves as noted in the recipe, as the regular preserves have 13g of carbs per one tablespoon serving, while the sugar free version has just 5g in one tablespoon.
I make this chicken dish just about every other week. Love it. . Serve many different ways.
I find the7-8 htrs on low in the crockpot is way too long. I cook on low for 4 hts.
