Apricot Onion Chicken

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• salt, lightly sprinkled
• pepper, to taste
• garlic powder, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 (3 ounce) package onion soup mix
• 4 tablespoons apricot jam, heaping

1. Lightly salt each chicken piece and then add black pepper and garlic powder to suit your taste buds.
2. Heat olive oil in non-stick skillet on medium heat.
3. Brown seasoned side of chicken first and turn to brown the other side (about 3-4 mins each side).
4. Turn off heat and set aside.
5. In a small bowl add onion soup mix and with fingers sprinkle over chicken pieces.
6. This method spreads more evenly than sprinkling direct from packet.
7. (I use any leftover mix to season a vegetable).
8. Using a spoon, drop in small dallops about 1 heaping Tablespoon of jam/jelly/preserves per chicken breast.
9. Return skillet to a Low heat, cover with lid and allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until all juices run clear.
10. Some of the glaze will run to bottom of skillet.
11. I recommend adding 1 T of water, stir and drizzle the sauce on ea.
12. plate and top with chicken, makes for a nice presentation.
