Ingredients

Servings

Chicken

  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 2 pounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Apricot Sauce

  • cup apricot preserves
  • ½ medium orange, juiced (about ¼ cup)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Chicken

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Then, add the chicken to the oil mixture, tossing to coat evenly.

  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4-6 minutes, or until thickened.
  3. Add cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat.
  4. Serve hot with rice or vegetables.
