Directions
In a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat, heat the oil.
Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Add chicken and sauté until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
Add the sesame seeds and sauté, stirring frequently, until browned, about 2 minutes.
Add the apricots, water, apricot preserves, soy sauce, mustard and ginger and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the snow peas and simmer until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes more.
To serve, divide among 4 individual plates.
