Easy Apricot Chicken

Wow, it has been too long since my last post. I have to tell you though, pregnancy really messes with your taste buds. I really haven't been eating (much less cooking) anything worth blogging about. Unless of course anyone would want to read a weekly review of Papa John's and kraft mac n cheese. However, now that I am fully in the middle of my 2nd trimester, I have been feeling much better and my taste buds have been more cooperative. I have also found myself with much more energy and have actually felt like cooking again! Yay!

Tonight I whipped up a yummy, super easy staple in our house and decided it would be worth sharing. It's inexpensive, healthy & completely flexible!

Apricot Chicken
- chicken breast
- salt & pepper
- apricot preserves
- spicy mustard

That's it. Seriously. The recipe is wonderfully flexible as well. Basically season the chicken well with salt & pepper and cook it. Sometimes I cook it stove top and sometimes I bake it.You could probably bread or fry it if you wanted. Next, to make the sauce heat 2 parts apricot preserves and 1 part mustard in a small sauce pan (taste and add more mustard or preserves if you like). Heat slowly while stirring until well blended. Simply pour the sauce over the chicken and enjoy.


I promise you will be surprised at how tasty this easy meal is. I usually make this with a side of roasted veggies. I think sweet potatoes and red onion go really well.

Happy New Year and Happy Eating!!
