ANDI'S APRICOT ALMOND CHICKEN
A great new twist on sweet and sour chicken. This recipe is quick enough to prepare any night of the week and easily doubled or halved. Try adding sliced red bell pepper to the onions and garlic while cooking, and serving over brown rice.

Steps:
- Place chicken between plastic wrap, and gently pound with a mallet to 1/2" thickness. Season with salt, and set aside. Strain apricot liquid into a small bowl and stir in orange juice, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Coarsely chop apricots and set aside. Place flour and cayenne pepper in a resealable plastic bag, and shake to combine. Add chicken breasts in batches, tossing to coat and dusting off excess flour.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken, turning once, until no longer pink in center and juices run clear. Transfer to a paper towel-lined dish. Cook and stir shallot and garlic in the same pan until translucent, being careful not to burn the garlic and adding more oil if needed. Stir in orange juice mixture and chopped apricots. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup simmering liquid and 2 tablespoons flour until well blended and no lumps of flour remain. Slowly stir back into skillet to thicken, repeating if necessary for desired consistency. Return chicken to skillet, spooning with sauce, until warmed through. Garnish with almonds, if desired.
