Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then mince garlic. Add apricot spread, 1/4 tsp garlic (dbl for 4 ppl) and balsamic glaze to a small bowl, then stir to combine. On a separate cutting board, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the dried rosemary.
Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min. Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat. Roughly mash 1/4 cup milk and 2 tbsp butter (dbl both for 4 ppl) into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on almonds so they don't burn!) Transfer almonds to a plate and set aside.
Reheat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Sear until golden-brown, 3-4 min per side. Remove the pan from heat. Transfer chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon half the apricot glaze over chicken. Bake in the middle of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 10-11 min.**
Meanwhile, cut zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Heat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then zucchini and remaining dried rosemary. Cook, stirring often, until zucchini is tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
Divide chicken, mash and zucchini between plates. Spoon remaining apricot glaze over chicken. Sprinkle almonds over zucchini.
