Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup diced fresh apricots
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix apricot preserves, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
Prepare the Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced apricots, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and season with salt to taste.
Assemble the Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Place the chicken strips on each tortilla and top with apricot salsa.
Serve: Garnish with sliced jalapeños if desired, and serve immediately.
