Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Coat a 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Place the butter or margarine in a large skillet, and melt over medium heat. Add the celery, onion, and apricots and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add the chicken broth and heat for 2 minutes. Set aside.
