Baked Apricot-Glazed Chicken Thighs
I love using skinless, boneless, chicken thighs in my chicken recipes. The meat is always tender and juicy, and they make for a quick weeknight meal. These Baked Apricot-Glazed Chicken Thighs have the added bonus of a sweet and savory coating.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Gather the ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
Prepare the Ingredients
Using a knife and cutting board, mince the garlic. Grate the fresh ginger root.
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a large cast iron skillet and cook the seasoned chicken thighs in olive oil for 6-8 minutes on both sides, just to brown.
Prepare the Apricot Glaze
In a glass bowl, whisk together the apricot preserves, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, whole grain mustard, freshly grated ginger and minced garlic.
Pour the glaze over the browned chicken and tuck fresh rosemary sprigs around the chicken for extra flavor.
Place the cast iron skillet in a preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, brushing with glaze 2 more times. Serves 4-6.
