Apricot Teryaki Chicken Thighs



I got this recipe from an Ellie Krieger cookbook, my new favorite chef, since everything she makes is real, delicious and easy.  Try these - they're so simple I was able to make them for 20 people at a Boy Scout campout, and I got rave reviews.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup all fruit apricot preserves
  • 3 TB reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1TB unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1.5 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 8 skinless boneless chicken thighs
Instructions:
Put apricot preserves, soy sauce and vinegar into a large microwave safe bowl.  Microwave for 30 sec then whisk until the preserves are dissolved.  Whisk in ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes.  Add chicken and marinate for 15 min.

Preheat broiler to high.  Transfer chicken pieces to a broiler tray.  Broil about 3" from the heat until cooked through and well charred on the surface, about 5 min per side.

I can't find my cookbook at this particular moment, so I don't have calorie counts, but will add those back in once I come across it.
