4 Servings

1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cut into serving pieces

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon sherry
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon grated ginger

Wash and dry chicken, coat with flour. In a large skillet, brown each piece in heated margarine and oil. After browning, coat chicken pieces with apricot jam. Combine marjoram, lemon rind, soy sauce, sherry, pineapple juice, ginger, hot pepper sauce and reserved apricot juice. Pour over chicken.
