Chicken with Apricot Jam & Soy Sauce – AKA – Sandy’s Chicken
June 27, 2025
This is one of my husband's favorite meals. He is always asking me to make it. Sandy is one of my best friends. She was the first person I met on my first day of college (Sarah Lawrence) back in 1979. Actually, it was my mother that met her, I was too shy. You know those friends that know a hell of a lot about you - actually, too much about you? Well, Sandy is one of those. A friend that you haven't seen in years and yet you pick right up where you left off. That's Sandy and this is her chicken.

Thank you Leslie. My husband loved this recipe too. I only had chicken tenders and it worked out great. Served it with fresh pineapple rice. Fixed a tomato , red and orange peppers, red onion white bean salad with Catalina dressing I made the day before for taco salad. Topped with a little fresh basil. Sounds eclectic but we loved it.
