Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet to transfer the chicken from stovetop to oven.
• If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can simmer the apricot mixture on the stovetop for a few minutes before pouring it over the chicken.
• For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the apricot mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover apricot chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the reheated chicken with fresh rice or vegetables.
