Apricot-Lemon Chicken... 5 Ingredient Meal!

It's been a while since I've posted a recipe, and since I was deciding on recipes from my Pinterest board to try out, I decided it was time to cook!  Since it's Monday night, I wanted something super easy... so the 5-Ingredient section from Cooking Light was calling my name.  The curry powder on the chicken is a great undertone, and the lemon juice cuts the sweetness of the apricot.  It was a super-easy pan sauce, and I'm very pleased with how it turned out!  I served it with an olive oil & zesty herb pasta, something with a little kick and flavor to balance out the sweet and tangy chicken.
