→ For the Sauce
05 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
06 -
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
07 -
1 teaspoon dried thyme
08 -
1/2 cup chicken broth
09 -
1 cup apricot preserves or puree
10 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a big pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and cumin (if you're using it) over the chicken breasts. Place them in the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, flipping once, until the chicken is fully cooked and nicely browned. Take them out and set aside.
02 -
Using the same pan, stir together the apricot preserves, chicken broth, lemon juice, thyme, and Dijon mustard. Let it simmer gently while stirring once in a while. After 5-7 minutes, the sauce should thicken slightly.

Add the cooked chicken back into the pan. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and let it heat together for another 5 minutes so the flavors soak into the chicken.
