How to Make Apricot Ginger Chicken

  1. Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch strips.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until cooked through and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
  4. To the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup apricot nectar, 2 tablespoons dry sherry, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
  6. Bring to a boil. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
  7. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the boiling sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Stir in 2 green onions, thinly sliced, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
  10. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa.
