Ingredients

  • 6-8 bone-in chicken thighs or 4 chicken breasts I used skinless chicken
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 1-2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce
  • ½ cup apricot jam
  • 4 green onions sliced, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Sprinkle chicken with seasonings.
  • In large cast iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken for 2-3 minutes each side. Remove from pan, reserving drippings.
  • In the same pan, saute the shallot and garlic in the pan drippings over medium heat until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Stir in apricot jam, broth, horseradish sauce and half of the green onions.
  • Nestle the chicken into the sauce. Cover the skillet and place in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees.
  • Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top. Top with remaining green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

I used bone-in, skinless chicken. I prefer bone-in for flavor. If you use skin-on chicken, the skin won't stay crispy because the casserole dish is covered. 
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can pour the sauce into a casserole dish and cover with foil instead.
