5:30 Challenge: 5 INGREDIENTS, 30 MINUTES
Recently, Flora Rosefsky of Atlanta sent in a recipe for chicken cutlets rolled around an apricot filling, but unfortunately, the baking time exceeded the limit for the 5:30 Challenge. The idea was so good, though, that I couldn't help but fiddle with it, with Rosefsky's approval.
Instead of rolling them, I pan-fried the cutlets, then topped them with an apricot glaze. I also added a bit of ginger to the jam for more flavor. I was happy with my results and, hopefully, she will be, too.
