Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 lbs chicken tenderloins, cut into bite-size pieces
salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
1 large onion, chopped
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar (to taste)
20 dried apricots
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and cook in the hot oil until golden brown around the edges, but still pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook for about 3 minutes more. Pour in the balsamic vinegar, bring it to a simmer, and allow it to reduce for a few minutes.
  • Cut 10 of the apricots in half, leaving the others whole. Place the apricots into the skillet, and pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the apricot preserves and thyme. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the apricots have softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apricots. Fresh, dried, or canned apricots can all be used in this recipe. If using fresh apricots, be sure to pit and slice them before cooking.
  • Choose a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a thick, syrupy consistency and a sweet and tangy flavor. Avoid using a cheap balsamic vinegar, as it will not have the same flavor or consistency.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. When cooking the chicken, be sure to not overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The chicken should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be tender and juicy, and the sauce will be flavorful and tangy.

Conclusion:

Apricot balsamic skillet chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
