Ingredients

1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup apricot preserves
2 tbsps low-sodium soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (add more if you prefer spicy)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (bring chicken close to room temp)
salt and pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsps butter
fresh chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together chicken broth, apricot preserves, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; add chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes on each side until chicken breasts are cooked through and the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F.
Pour apricot sauce over chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes until warmed through, occasionally spooning sauce over the tops of the chicken breasts. Finish sauce with butter. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately over rice.
