Provided by super14

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ tablespoons butter
4 skinless chicken thighs
½ onion, sliced
1 (15 ounce) can apricot halves, drained
1 tablespoon chili sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken thighs on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken thighs and set aside. In the hot skillet, cook and stir the onions until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the apricot halves, chili sauce, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and black pepper into a blender, and pulse several times to puree. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the onions, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken thighs to the sauce, and spoon sauce over the chicken. Simmer until the chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve chicken topped with sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh apricots when they are in season. If fresh apricots are not available, you can use frozen or canned apricots, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute another type of mustard, such as yellow mustard or brown mustard. However, Dijon mustard has a unique flavor that pairs well with the apricots and chicken, so it is the best choice if you have it.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the oven.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, you can simmer the apricot-Dijon mixture for a few minutes until it reduces and thickens. You can also add a cornstarch slurry to the mixture to thicken it.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Apricot-Dijon glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apricots and tangy Dijon mustard creates a flavorful glaze that pairs perfectly with the chicken. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
