Apricot Chicken is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors that’s both comforting and elegant. Juicy chicken thighs or breasts are coated in a luscious glaze made from tangy apricot preserves, savory soy sauce, and a hint of garlic for depth. Baked to golden perfection, the chicken becomes tender and caramelized, with a rich, sticky sauce that’s perfect for spooning over rice or roasted vegetables. This easy-to-make dish is a crowd-pleaser, ideal for weeknight dinners or special occasions where a touch of sweetness can elevate the meal.
