5 oz chicken breast

1 tbsp apricot preserves

0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1.5 cups broccoli florets

1 tbsp tamari

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the sliced almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant, then set aside.

• 2

  Season the chicken breast evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked through.

  While the chicken cooks, whisk together the apricot preserves, tamari, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl.

  Steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket or with a splash of water in the microwave for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

  Lower the skillet heat to medium, pour the apricot mixture over the chicken, and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.

• 7

  Serve the chicken drizzled with the remaining glaze from the pan, topped with the toasted almonds, alongside the steamed broccoli.
