Apricot-Lemon Chicken

Start with an apricot fruit spread to concoct a sauce that transforms simply prepared chicken breasts into this elegant dish.

1  teaspoon  curry powder
1/2  teaspoon  salt
1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
4  (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Cooking spray
1/3  cup  apricot spread (such as Polaner All Fruit)
2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
2  tablespoons  water
2  teaspoons  grated lemon rind

Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl; rub mixture over chicken.
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Cook chicken 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan, and keep warm.
Add apricot spread, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water to pan, stirring until smooth. Cook over medium heat 1 minute. Spoon sauce over chicken; sprinkle with lemon rind.
