Apricot Balsamic Chicken Dinner

Apricot Balsamic Chicken Dinner

Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Olive Oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/3 cup Apricot Red Pepper Jelly (available at Barrie Olive Oil)
  • 1/4 cup Apricot Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • cooked couscous
  • fresh arugula

Directions:

In a large saucepan add Lemon Olive Oil.

Season both sides of the chicken with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Add the chicken to the pan and brown for 5 minutes. Flip and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 5 minutes more.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Apricot Red Pepper Jelly, Apricot Balsamic Vinegar and stock and pour over the chicken. Cook uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and becomes a thin glaze.

Serve with couscous and fresh arugula.
