ASIAN SPICED CHICKEN WITH VANILLA APRICOT SAUCE



Asian Spiced Chicken With Vanilla Apricot Sauce image

I got this recipe from McCormick. This recipe has a unique contrast of flavor, is healthy, uses ingredients that most people have on hand, and is so good! I have altered it a little from the original. I like to serve over rice with crunchy wonton strips on top (original recipe used wonton cups, no rice & served as an appetizer). I double the sauce when I make it because it's that good! I don't know of many asian resaurants that make a dish this great!
