Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts about 4-6 pieces
  • 1/4 cup apricot jam
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Season both sides chicken with salt and pepper. In a heavy skillet or cast iron pan, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Cook chicken, 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, or until nearly done.
  • Mix jam, water, ginger and vinegar in a small bowl.
  • Remove chicken from pan and place on a plate.
  • Add apricot mixture to pan, scraping to loosen any browned bits. Place chicken back in pan, turning to coat both sides of each piece, and continue cooking until sauce is thickened, the consistency of a glaze and chicken is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
