Home-cooked meals are extraordinary opportunities to gather around the table, especially as autumn nears. Just the simplicity of fantastic aromas will call your clan to dinner. Try my apricot skillet chicken to entice your family faster to the kitchen table and it is so easy! In a large skillet (using a lid), pan sear (with the skin side first) in half olive oil and half butter, 4 chicken breasts. Turn frequently and add a dash of sherry and seasoning. After searing, bake the chicken, briefly, in the oven until it is thoroughly cooked.
Into the drippings of the seared chicken, add 4 tablespoons of apricot jelly, 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and dash of Worcestershire sauce. Stir into incorporated. Finish the sauce with a tab of cream. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and coat the chicken with the sauce. Top with chopped rosemary and serve with cranberry sauce and boiled potatoes. Wholesomeness is synonymous with heartfelt kitchen goodness when your family dines at a home. © Kelly McBride Loft
