Tried out the recipe successfully.Had it for lunch.Was lip-smacking tasty & filling too.Was liked by the young & old. The recipe seems to combine Western & Eastern culinary expertise. A truly innovative combination of crispy jacketed chicken breasts marinated with aromatic spices with sweetness in the form of apricot-preserve and having a cheesy flavor! Wow!!
