CHICKEN WITH APRICOTS



Chicken With Apricots image

Chicken with dried apricots is hardly a new idea, but I had issues with its most common interpretations. For one thing, they were almost always cloying; the routine addition of cinnamon and cloves does nothing to offset the apricots' sweetness and makes the dish taste more like dessert than dinner. For another, they were usually stewed rather than braised, turning the chicken skin sodden. I brown the chicken in a nonstick skillet with no fat, and that works well. A tablespoon or two of butter, stirred in at the end, will make the sauce richer. Or you can render some bacon, remove it, and brown the chicken in the bacon fat, then crumble the bacon and stir it in at the end of cooking. Finally, any dried fruit can be used, or a combination; with the short cooking time, even prunes will remain intact. But be aware that fruit dried with sulfur (the common method) becomes tender much faster than fruit dried organically, which needs a couple of hours of soaking before cooking.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup dried apricots
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup red wine
1 chicken, cut into serving pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine apricots in a bowl with vinegar, wine and 1/4 cup water. Let soak while you brown the chicken.
  • Turn the heat to medium high under a 12-inch nonstick skillet, and add chicken pieces, skin side down. Cook, rotating but not turning pieces so they brown evenly. When they are nicely browned - take your time - turn them so they are skin side up. Make a little space to add the onion, and cook, stirring the onion occasionally until it has softened a bit, a minute or two.
  • Add apricot mixture and bring to a boil; cook for a minute, then turn heat to low and cover. Cook until chicken is done, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover, raise heat and season chicken well with salt and pepper. Boil away any excess liquid; sauce should not be too watery. Serve with white rice or any other cooked grain, or bread.

CHICKEN WITH APRICOTS



Chicken with Apricots image

Chicken with a fruit and nut sauce

Provided by amp1043

Time 40m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Chicken Breasts
1 Onion, chopped
1 Green Pepper, sliced
Grated rind of 1 orange
1 tablespoon of plain flour
250 ml Vegatable Stock
60 ml Fresh Orange Juice
200 ml Dry White Wine
100 g Organic Dried Apricots cut into quarters
50 g Walnuts (chopped)
pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper, freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Chop the chicken breasts into small chunks, fry until cooked then set aside.
  • Fry the onion for a few minutes, then add the sliced pepper for about 1 minute. Then add the orange rind and plain flour
  • In a small jug, mix the orange juice and stock. GRADUALLY stir in the juice/stock mixture to the onion mixture.
  • Add the apricots, chicken, walnuts and white wine. Then add salt, pepper and the grated nutmeg.
  • Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Can be served immediately or, preferebly, leave to cook and reheat later. If reheating, tranfer to a caserole and heat at 160C for 30-40 minutes. You can serve from the caserole at the table

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Season your chicken: Seasoning your chicken with salt and pepper is essential for adding flavor. You can also add other spices, herbs, or marinades to taste.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help you cook the chicken and pasta evenly. If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the chicken and pasta in batches.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Pasta al dente is pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for pasta dishes.
  • Add the apricots and sauce: Once the chicken and pasta are cooked, add the apricots and sauce. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Serve immediately: Apricot chicken with pasta is best served immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Apricot chicken with pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apricots, savory chicken, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish like a pro.
