Apricot Craisin Chicken

My mom used to make this awesome apricot chicken that was I craving. She was un able to get me the recipe so I decided to create my own! It tastes slightly different than hers, but it still turned out delicious!!!

This is a nice alternative to the usual chicken dish!  If your craving something sweet for dinner, try this recipe out!
