Ellen's Notes:

This dish is my own invention with a little borrowed from Uncle Ben and a little borrowed from my friend Alice. It has been tried and tested and is definitely yummy!

Directions

In a large skillet (I use my electric skillet) over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts to taste. Place in the skillet and cook, covered, for 40 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.

In a small saucepan, place chicken broth, brown sugar, spicy brown mustard and apricot preserves. Over medium heat, stir mixture often until heated through, about 4 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until chicken is done. Sauce will thicken as it stands.

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with the wild rice.

LOL! That's not my pic, Billie, that's Uncle Ben's. I will post mine as soon as I make it in the next few days. I was planning on making it last night, and then again tonight, but life got in the way and I had a change in plans both nights. I'm taking care of my granddaughter who has the flu, so I'm making dinners that she would like. I will probably try this recipe on the BF!
