Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup fat-free cholesterol-free egg product or 2 egg whites
2 tablespoons water
1 cup Bisquick Heart Smart® mix
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
6 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb)
2/3 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Lemon slices, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In shallow bowl, beat egg product and water slightly. In another shallow bowl, mix Bisquick mix, lemon peel and garlic powder.
  • Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/2 inch thick. Dip chicken into egg mixture, then coat with Bisquick mixture. Place in pan. Spray chicken with cooking spray.
  • Bake uncovered 20 minutes. Turn; bake 10 minutes longer or until juice is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Cut chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, mix all remaining ingredients except lemon slices. Cook over medium-low heat until hot, stirring frequently. Cut chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch slices; pour sauce over chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too sweet. I think I might have done something wrong, because I've seen so many positive reviews. I'll try it again and see if I can get it right.

I found that the chicken was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it. The sauce was delicious though, so I'll definitely try this recipe again and be more careful with the cooking time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey in the sauce. Otherwise, the chicken was cooked well and the apricots added a nice flavor.
