- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix together apricot preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the glaze.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
