Chicken With Apricots
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dried apricots
1/4 cup sliced green olives
1 1/4 lb chicken fillets
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
1 (14-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Steps
1. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Chop apricots and olives coarsely.
2. Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken (wash hands); cook 2–3 minutes (do not turn). Turn chicken; add garlic, apricots, and olives. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until garlic begins to soften.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 5–7 minutes, turning chicken once, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness.
4. Remove chicken from pan; increase heat to medium. Cook sauce 2–3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove and discard bay leaf. Slice chicken and serve with sauce.
