Sweet and Sour Chicken Apricot Skewers	Printer Friendly version
1/2 cup apricot jam 11/2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1 medium lemon 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast 1/2 cup dried apricot salt and pepper
SAUCE: In a small microwave safe bowl, heat jam in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until melted, 30 to 45 seconds. Stir in soy sauce, basil, and cayenne. Rinse lemons and cut crosswise into 1/8 inch thick slices. Discard ends and any seeds. Rinse chicken and pat dry; cut into 1 inch thick slices. Thread 2 pieces of chicken onto and 8-10 inch skewer. Fold 1 lemon slice around 1 dried apricot and thread onto skewer through both sides of lemon slice. Repeat to fill 6 skewers equally. Set skewers on a rack in a foil-lined 10 X 13 inch broiler pan. Brush jam mixture generously all over chicken and fruit. Broil about 4 inches from heat, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 8 to 10 minutes total. If desired, set pan over high heat, add any remaining jam mixture, and stir scraping up browned bits until boiling; pour into a small bowl and serve with meat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
