Ingredients

2 servings
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup apricot preserves (or apricot jam)
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, ginger, and salt.

  3. Stir and move the chicken to one side of the skillet.

  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the water to the skillet. Use a spatula to scrape up any brown bits.
