Apricot Chicken

Another great recipe made with less than 5 ingredients! I love apricot chicken and this version is bursting with flavor and super easy to make. The sheet pan cooking creates a delicious sauce with the juices from the chicken. Serve with basmati rice and you have a great weeknight meal ready in less than 30 minutes!

Servings: 4

Preparation: 1 hour (marinade) + 15 minutes

Cooking: 15 minutes

Ingredients :

• 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp tamari (or ¾ tbsp soy sauce)
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp tamari (or ¾ tbsp soy sauce)
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 3 green onions, chopped
• ½ jar of apricot jam (Bonne Maman) = ½ cup

Steps:

1. Marinate the chicken in a little tamari sauce - at least an hour to overnight.

2. Preheat oven to 425F. In a large bowl, combine chicken, salt (lightly salt because of the soy sauce), pepper, olive oil, tamari, green onions, rice vinegar and apricot jam.

3. Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Bake for 10 minutes.

4. Continue cooking on the broiler for 5 minutes to caramelize the chicken. The time may vary depending on the strength of the oven.

5. Serve with basmati rice, cooking juices and more chopped green onions.
