Heat the olive oil in a large lidded skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and cook it in the hot oil until the edges are golden but the center is still pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion and cook for about 3 minutes more. Pour in the balsamic vinegar, bring it to a simmer, and let it reduce for a few minutes.

Cut half of the apricots in half, leaving the rest whole. Add the apricots to the skillet, and pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the apricot preserves and thyme. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the apricots are softened.
