Step 1
1. First, prepare the chicken breast. Rinse the chicken under cold running water, remove the skin and bones, and cut it in half to get two fillets. This will make two servings. Pour over the fillets a marinade made from a mixture of half an orange's juice and soy sauce. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.

2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let it come to room temperature. Meanwhile, soak the dried apricots in hot water; if the apricots are already soft, soaking is not necessary. Cut the apricots into small cubes and finely chop the cheese. Sear the chicken fillets on one side in a grill pan. However, you can also skip this step and not sear them.
