Heat a large skillet over a medium heat and add some cooking fat. Place 2 pounds of chicken tenderloins that have been halved crosswise into the skillet and brown both sides to preferred doneness. Season both sides of the chicken with ¼ teaspoon of sea salt and ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper per side as desired.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and allow the liquid to cook down until it has evaporated. Add 2 cups of chicken stock and 20 coarsely chopped dried apricots to the skillet, mixing well. Bring the mixture to a boil.
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 2 cups chicken stock, 20 dried apricots
Reduce the heat and let the chicken simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Add more salt or pepper to taste.
Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve.

Replace chicken breasts with chicken thighs if desired.
If the sauce is too thin, continue simmering over low for another 5 minutes. You may remove the chicken if it is done cooking. Alternatively, you could use a 1 to 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder to help thicken the mixture.
