Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 20 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup apricot preserves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced parsnips
- 1 cup diced rutabaga
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated garlic, 2-3 cloves
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper then add them to the hot skillet. Cook approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. The chicken won’t be fully cooked at this point. Remove the chicken from the skillet and onto a plate.
- Whisk together the chicken broth, apricot preserves and Dijon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the carrots, parsnips and rutabaga to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and sauté 4-5 minutes. Add in the herbs and garlic and sauté another minute.
- Add the chicken back into the skillet and pour in the apricot mixture. Reduce the heat to medium, cover with a lid or piece of foil and cook for another 7-8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, taste for seasoning and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken thighs. Garnish with more fresh herbs then serve.
Notes
- Feel free to use whatever mix of root vegetables that you prefer.
