This Apricot Glazed Chicken is a delightful mix of sweet and savory, with a glaze that’s both tangy and rich. I tried this last week for a quick dinner, and it was such a hit that I knew I had to share it. The apricot glaze not only adds a beautiful shine but also gives the chicken a flavor that’s just irresistible. It’s simple, quick, and perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients:​

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup apricot preserves
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the apricot preserves, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Glaze the Chicken: In the same skillet, pour in the apricot glaze mixture. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Return the chicken to the skillet, turning it to coat evenly with the glaze.
5. Serve: Once the chicken is fully coated and the glaze has thickened a bit more, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Conclusion:​

This recipe is incredibly easy to pull together, yet it tastes like something you’d find in a restaurant. The apricot glaze gives the chicken a unique flavor that’s both comforting and a little bit fancy. Perfect for a busy weeknight or a casual dinner with friends. Enjoy!
