1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instrucciones

Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

Combine the flour, paprika, and dried thyme in a shallow bowl or on a plate.

Dredge both sides of the chicken in the flour mixture, shake off any excess and place on a plate. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet on medium-high. Add the olive oil and chicken. Cook the chicken 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, flip and continue to cook until done through and no longer pink in the center.

Remove the cooked chicken to a clean plate.

Lower the heat to medium and add a drizzle more olive oil, if needed. Add the onions. Cook until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes, stirring often.

Stir in the garlic and cook an additional minute.

Carefully pour in the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, apricot preserves and crushed red pepper, if using. Cook until well blended and warmed through.

Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat in the apricot sauce. Continue to cook to warm through.

Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh thyme, if desired.
