Ingredients
- 4 Bone-in Skin-on Chicken Thighs
- 1/2 cup Apricot Preserves
- 2 Apricots halved and pitted
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Onion diced
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Create the Apricot Glaze. In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the apricot preserves, halved apricots, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Let the glaze simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Simmer the Chicken. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the glaze over the thighs, and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures the chicken is fully cooked and absorbs all the sweet and savory flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy. Transfer the chicken to a serving dish, spoon extra glaze over the top, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve with rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
