These were my favorite prepared meal of the year and I cannot wait to make them again. These are perfect for a football party at home or an appetizer gathering... I added more garlic and made fewer sandwiches with more of the chutney sauce. I agree the chutney recipe should be tripled and added to the chicken 'sloppy joe' style. The best flavor EVER!

I wasn't crazy about the flavor, it was lacking something,I don't know what but the Chutney needed to be spicy or something and I just can't get around making chicken thighs, just me I guess. Meh.

These were easy and tasty. Not something I'd rush to make again but a good way to mix it up with chicken. It made a lot of chutney so I'm trying to think about other uses for it. Ideas?

Oh yum. Out Traeger grill made this meal a snap. Everyone loved it. I didn't change a thing - just grilled the buns a little before assembly. I served it with Grilled Lime-Butter Corn on the Cob also from Cooking Light. Great, quick easy dinner.

The ultimate test---my kids loved it! I didn't use the apricot spread, as they don't like apricots, but cooked the chicken as specified in the recipe and then used honey smoked barbeque sauce. Big hit!
