Ingredients
1. For the sauce
2. For the chicken
Step-by-Step Method
Stir the sauce
In a small bowl, stir apricot jam, honey and Dijon mustard until smooth. If the jam is very thick, you can dilute it with 1-2 tablespoons of water.
Prepare the chicken
Dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. Thin it slightly if it is too thick for even cooking.
Heat the pan and add flavor
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the scent by moving the ginger slices around the pan for 30-60 seconds.
Cook the chicken
Add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, turning until the inside is cooked. Don't raise the temperature too high; Be careful not to let it dry out while coloring the outside.
Glaze with sauce
Pour the sauce you prepared into the pan. Turn and coat the chicken with the sauce for 2-3 minutes; Let the sauce thicken slightly and stick to the chicken.
Let it rest and serve
Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes. Serve by drizzling the remaining apricot sauce in the pan.
