Apricot-Sage Chicken with Carrots

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken to pan; cook 3 min- utes per side or until browned (chicken will not be cooked through). Remove chicken from pan (do not wipe out pan).

Combine stock, apricot preserves, and mustard in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add carrots, 1 tablespoon sage, and garlic to pan; sauté 4 minutes. Add apricot mixture and chicken to pan; reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook 8 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove pan from heat. Place chicken and carrots on a platter. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and butter to pan, swirling until butter melts. Spoon pan sauce over chicken; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon sage.
