2 lbs grilled chicken breast, chopped

For the sauce:

1/4 cup apricot preserves

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup reduced sugar ketchup

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/2 Tbsp honey

2 tsp fresh minced ginger

How to make it 

Start with leftover grilled chicken breast or quickly grill some up with a little bit of oil, salt, and pepper.

To make the sauce, add all ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and reduce to simmer until ingredients are well-incorporated and thickened, about 20 minutes. Add chicken, and stir to combine.
