Apricot-Glazed Chicken with Spring Vegetables

Author: The Insecure Chef
Serves: 1
Ingredients
8oz. skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Baby carrots equalling 1 carrot, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6oz. asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
1.25 ounces snow peas, trimmed (about ¼ cup)
1.5 tablespoons apricot preserves
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 shallots, chopped
½ tsp. chopped basil
¼ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Directions
Cut each chicken breast into 4 or 5 large chunks; season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook, turning, until browned on all sides and almost cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.
Remove to a plate.
Add ½ Tbsp. butter to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the carrots and 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer until the carrots are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and increase the heat to medium high. Cook until the water evaporates, 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining ½ tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add the asparagus, snow peas, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Cover and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet along with the apricot preserves, mustard, shallots, basil and lemon zest. Simmer, tossing, until the preserves are melted and the chicken and vegetables are glazed; season with salt and pepper.
