Apricot Chicken Breasts

For this easy chicken dinner I made a glaze, and covering the chicken
to finish cooking made it moist and delctible. I started making
the glaze by browning some thin onion slices, adding garlic and
apricot preserves. Let the preserves melt down before adding about
a quarter cup of white wine and chopped dried apricots.

Let that simmer while you sear the boneless chicken breasts.
Just season with a simple salt and pepper, then brown both sides
in a hot pan.

Add a touch of butter to the glaze, stir, then top the chicken breasts
with it liberally. Cover the pan and finish off in a 350 oven.

Serve this with a side and a salad....yum yum.

You could use this same technique with any fruit for your glaze,
and with any protein...like duck breasts with plum glaze, or turkey
breasts with orange cranberry glaze....just use your
tastebuds to guide you.
