Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, ginger, and salt.
  2. In a 10-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown for 2-3 minutes per side without stirring.
  3. Stir and move the chicken to one side of the skillet.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the water to the skillet. Use a spatula to scrape up any brown bits.
  5. Add the jam, ketchup, cider vinegar, Dijon, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a gentle simmer, adjusting the heat if needed, and let simmer about 7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Serve over rice.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, remove cooked chicken from pan and let sauce simmer for a few minutes more.
  • Apricot chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
