6. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to a separate skillet and add the coated chicken. Stir-fry for 6-7 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink.
7. Sprinkle the cooked chicken with 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
8. Add the cooked chicken to the apricot mixture in the first skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for 1 minute.
