  • Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Look for ripe, juicy apricots and cranberries.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables. If it is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes to reduce it.
