Coriander and Mustard Seed Chicken

I made this again tonight, and I remembered that
this is probably my favorite chicken recipe :)
This recipe is so easy but is very delicious!

Ingredients~

4 chicken breasts or 8-10 chicken tenders
1 tlbs oil- olive or canola, really doesn't matter
2 shallots- or any onion will do, 1 small yellow or red onion
2 tsps coriander seeds (whole seeds)
2 tlbs mustard seeds (whole seeds)
1/4 cup of dry white cooking wine, or red cooking wine, whatever you have handy
1/4 cup water
1 tlbs of apple jelly or apricot jelly
1 tlbs of chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions~
Season chicken with salt and pepper, heat oil in skillet and brown chicken on both sides, about 6 minutes on each side. Remove chicken to a plate.
Cook shallots or onions until carmelized, about 5 minutes. Then add mustard seeds, coriander seeds, wine, water, and bring to a boil.

Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer covered until cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Add jelly and cilantor, stir until jelly is melted. I normally remove the chicken from the skillet, then add the jelly so it is easier to mix, then spoon mixture over the chicken.
