APRICOT CHICKEN CURRY
I love apricot juice as the base for this curry dish. Chicken drumsticks are an economical meat option, but any bone-in pieces would do. Hold back on the madras curry and peppers to keep this dish mild and flavorful; adjust upward if you enjoy a lot of heat! Over rice, this is a complete meal.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season the chicken drumsticks with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until garlic is softened and is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the drumsticks in the skillet, and brown the chicken on all sides, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Bake the chicken drumsticks in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Bring the apricot nectar to a boil in a large pot over medium-high eat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; stir cornstarch mixture and curry powder into the apricot nectar. Add dried apricots. Transfer the baked drumsticks into the apricot mixture.
- Heat the skillet used to cook the chicken over medium heat. Stir in the onion, green bell pepper, carrots, and green chile pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened. Pour the drumsticks and apricot sauce into the skillet. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water chestnuts just before serving.

Steps:
- Combine the white wine vinegar, sugar, apricots, coconut milk, onion, garlic, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, red curry paste, mild curry paste, and coconut into a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the onion is translucent and the apricots are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the sauce moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth. Pour the blended sauce back into the saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. (You can also use a stick blender and puree the sauce right in the cooking pot.)
- Stir the chicken meat into the simmering sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.

CURRIED CHICKEN WITH APRICOTS
Elegant-looking presentation-light, delicate taste, not heavy on the curry. appears to be more work than it actually is -i REALLY like that part. We especially enjoy basmati rice with it. Has become a STANDARD at our house. I got this years ago from the Moroccan "expert" on an old Compuserve food forum. I can almost guarantee enjoyment.

APRICOT-PISTACHIO CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES
I ordered an entrée similar to this at the local museum café and liked it so much I decided to make something similar. At the museum it was served as a filling for a sandwich made with lettuce, tomato and thinly sliced red onion. I tend to serve it as a salad during the summer. It's really good on a hot day.

APRICOT CURRIED RICE WITH CHICKEN
A easy & fast recipe I found in "Schoener Essen", a German cooking magazine. German food is often very mild, so if you like things with a little more kick, feel free to experiment with spicier ingredients.

Steps:
- Cook rice and keep warm according to package directions.
- Season chicken breasts with a little salt& pepper to taste.
- Heat 2 tsp oil in a heated skillet.
- Add chicken breasts and brown 3 minutes per side, then remove from the pan.
- Spread chili sauce all over both sides of the chicken.
- Place chicken into a heavy,ovensafe pan and place in a preheated oven at 200 C on the second rack, and roast for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (the thicker your chicken breasts, the longer it will take).
- In the same pan you cooked the chicken in, heat another 2 tsp of oil.
- Saute the green onions and the peppers for about 3 minutes, remove from the pan to a dish.
- Add another tsp of oil (if needed) and saute the apricots 1-2 minutes, then remove to the same dish as the peppers and the onions.
- Add another tsp of oil (if needed), and saute the rice and the curry powder, stirring constantly to mix well, for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the stock and bring to a boil.
- Return all the sauteed vegetables and the apricots, along with the peas to the pan and cook together until heated.
- Serve with the chicken.
- Note*: If you prefer things more spicy, feel free to add some hot curry powder or use spicier chili sauce.
- In Germany, sweet& sour chili sauce is usually more like the sweet& sour duck sauce you can buy from La Choy in the grocery stores in America- it has little bits of red bell pepper in it.

- *Available at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.
- **Available at Indian, Southeast Asian and Latin American markets and many supermarkets.
Tips:
- Use firm, ripe apricots. Overripe apricots will be too soft and mushy for this recipe.
- If you don't have curry powder, you can make your own. Combine 1 teaspoon each of ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, and ginger.
- Be sure to toast the almonds before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a good quality bread for your sandwiches. A sturdy bread will hold up well to the fillings.
- If you like a spicy sandwich, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken salad.
Conclusion:
This apricot and curried chicken salad sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. The combination of sweet apricots, savory chicken, and creamy curry is sure to please everyone. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover chicken.
