- Add remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet and set over low heat. Add the ginger, garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, and add the apricots. Simmer over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
