Apricot Chicken

This week  I was craving Apricot Chicken, an easy dinner that could be enjoyed by the whole family and even better if I could puree some for bub. While it might be easy to go to the supermarket and use a "no thought required" recipe base I promise you it's just as easy to make your own. The added benefit of knowing exactly what is in you food and avoiding unnecessary ingredients like modified corn starch ... what exactly is that?!?

Just as easy and more delicious here is my Apricot Chicken for your family to enjoy!

2 chicken breasts (approx 800gr)

1/3 cup Natural Evolution Ultimate Gluten Free Baking Flour (Green Banana Flour)
