A delightful twist on a classic apricot chicken recipe, combining tender chicken with a sweet and tangy glaze.
Prepare the glaze by whisking together the apricot preserves, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the glaze is well mixed to evenly coat the chicken.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a nice crust to the chicken.
Pour the glaze over the chicken in the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
Cover the pan with a lid to ensure even cooking.
Add the sliced carrots and green beans to the pan and cook until tender-crisp.
Stir occasionally to coat the vegetables with the glaze.
Serve the chicken and vegetables on a plate, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with steamed rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
