Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat until

apricots. Season chicken with salt and pepper, add to stew
mixture, and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low,

to 15 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through cooking.
Transfer chicken to cutting board, let cool slightly, then
shred into bite-size pieces using 2 forks.
Off heat, stir in shredded chicken and let sit until heated
