Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 lbs. organic chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1/3 cup sugar-free apricot preserves
  • 1/3 cup chicken bone broth
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup diced sweet potato
  • 1 cup diced parsnips
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side and set aside.

In a small jug, whisk the bone broth, apricot jam, and mustard in a small bowl and set aside.

Add the root vegetables to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 10 minutes. Add in the herbs and garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Add the chicken to the skillet and pour over the apricot broth mixture. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve immediately with dressed greens, a drizzle of sauce, and additional fresh herbs.
