Apricot Sesame Chicken
I like easy chicken recipes.      One that you can throw in the oven and in 30 minutes or an hour you have your dinner entree.     This is good and easy and I like the hint of cinnamon. My favorite way to serve it is with Garlic-Sour Cream Noodles (really linguine).
6 chicken breasts, skinned and deboned
¼ c. butter
1 cup flour seasoned with salt and pepper
¼ c. butter
2 T. sesame seeds
1 ½ c. chopped onions
12 oz. jar apricot preserves
½ t. Cinnamon
1 T. pepper
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.     Roll chicken breasts in seasoned flour and place in skillet.     Saute breasts until lightly browned on each side, then place in a 9 x 9 glass casserole.     Melt ¼ c. butter and sautee onions and sesame seeds until onions are tender. Add apricot preserves, cinnamon and pepper, cooking until preserves are dissolved, and sauce is smooth.     Pour sauce over chicken breasts, cover tightly (I use foil) and bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
