Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup apricot preserve
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar or white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp ginger paste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • a few dashes red chili flakes

Instructions

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper lightly.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until the golden crust forms on each side.
  • Meanwhile mix preserve, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes in a small mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the chicken and let it bubble. Cover with lid and cook for 10-15 minutes over med-low heat until chicken breasts are fully cooked. Uncover and raise the heat to high. Boil up the sauce again and let it thickens, about 3-4 minutes spooning the sauce over the chicken occasionally.
  • When the sauce reduces to half, remove the skillet from the heat and let the chicken cool slightly. The sauce will thicken even more and turn into a glaze. Serve the chicken over rice.
