Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tsp garlic-infused olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (make sure no corn syrup or HFCS in ingredients)
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves (*this takes some label-reading to find something that is FMA-friendly...there should be nothing with the word "syrup" on the label and should be sweetened only with sugar. Smucker's low sugar apricot preserves is one type that works)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt, at room temp
- 4 servings of white rice (optional)
Directions
-
Rinse chicken under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. if you are serving with rice, start rice in rice-cooker. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high. Cook chicken until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tinfoil tent to keep warm.
-
Reduce heat to medium low. Add the broth, curry powder, and apricot preserves; bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
-
Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a serving plate and keep warm. Add the yogurt to the pan and stir to combine. Ladle sauce over the chicken (and optionally rice) and serve.
