APRICOT AND CHICKEN BRUSCHETTA
A wonderful appetizer to prepare when you are in a hurry - use a rotisserie chicken from the deli. A Giada De Laurentiis recipe from Everyday Italian. These are so good & come together very easily! I prefer using white meat chicken but any that you like is fine. :)

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and cook in the hot oil until golden brown around the edges, but still pink in the center, 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 allow it to reduce for a few minutes.
- Cut half of the apricots in half, leaving the others whole. Place the apricots into 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 have softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.

Years ago, my mother took a trip to Italy, and this recipe reminds her of the sun-kissed fruits from the orchards there. It's a lovely apricot dessert that's not overly sweet or heavy. -Deborah Biggs, Omaha, Nebraska

Tips:
- Choose ripe apricots: Apricots should be slightly soft to the touch, with no bruises or blemishes. Ripe apricots will have a deep orange color and a sweet, fragrant smell.
- Use leftover chicken: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. You can use grilled, roasted, or poached chicken.
- Make your own vinaigrette: The vinaigrette in this recipe is simple to make and adds a lot of flavor. You can adjust the proportions of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste.
- Toast the bread slices: Toasting the bread slices will help them hold up better under the toppings. You can toast the bread in a toaster oven, on a grill, or in a pan with a little bit of olive oil.
- Assemble the bruschetta just before serving: The bruschetta is best when served fresh. If you assemble it too far in advance, the bread will become soggy.
Conclusion:
Apricot and chicken bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for summer parties or potlucks. The sweet and tangy apricots pair perfectly with the savory chicken and creamy cheese. The crunchy bread adds a nice textural contrast. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing.
