  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup apricot jam
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onions

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup orange juice

Instructions

  • Season the chicken evenly with sea salt and pepper

  • Add the olive oil to a large skillet, and cook chicken for 2 to 3 minutes per side on medium high heat
  • Remove chicken from skillet, place on a plate, and cover with foil
  • Add the orange juice to the pan, and stir well to deglaze and remove any brown bits
  • Stir in the apricot jam mixture, and heat until bubbling
  • Add the chicken back to the pan, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165 degrees, according to meat thermometer. Spoon glaze over chicken while cooking and when serving

If glaze gets too thick, thin it with a little more orange juice.
You can sub chicken thighs if you prefer.
