Ingredients

  • 4 cooked chicken breasts; grilled baked or pan fried

For the Apricot-Lime Glaze

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2/3 cup apricot preserves
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • juice of one lime
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • pinch seas salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Chinese five spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste

Instructions

To prepare the Apricot-Lime Glaze

  1. Saute the garlic in the olive oil until it is softened but not browned.
  2. Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer until the glaze is of a brush-able consistency, about 10 minutes.
  3. Serve over baked, grilled or pan fried chicken. If grilling or baking, you can brush some of the glaze onto the chicken in a few layers in the last few minutes of cooking time. Any additional glaze can be poured over the chicken when serving.
