For a richer flavor, try using smoked ham steak. If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend the apricot preserves before adding them to the skillet. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes to complete the meal. This recipe also works wonderfully with thick-cut pork chops or chicken breasts. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
