Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 4)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
12 ounces snow peas, trimmed (about 2 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
4 teaspoons dijon mustard
4 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cut each chicken breast into 4 or 5 large chunks; season with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook, turning, until browned on all sides and almost cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the carrots and 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer until the carrots are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and increase the heat to medium high. Cook until the water evaporates, 1 minute.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add the asparagus, snow peas and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet along with the apricot preserves, mustard, scallions, tarragon and lemon zest. Simmer, tossing, until the preserves are melted and the chicken and vegetables are glazed; season with salt and pepper.

Yield Makes about 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 chickens, cut into pieces
One 12-ounce jar apricot preserves
12 to 15 medium dried plums, pitted
1 tablespoon white vinegar
A few pinches of salt
20 grinds of freshly ground pepper
10 cloves garlic, peeled
20 to 30 sage leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Trim any extra fat from the chicken pieces and transfer them to a large roasting pan or broiler pan. If you don't have a roasting pan that's large enough, use 2 identical 9 x 13-inch baking pans.
  • Mix together the preserves and the vinegar in a mixing bowl. Dump over the chicken, add the remaining ingredients, and toss with the chicken until the chicken is evenly coated. Arrange the chicken pieces in the pan(s), skin side up, and spaced evenly apart.
  • If you want to prepare this in advance, you can do everything up to this point, cover the pans, and put them in the fridge until you're ready to roast the chicken, but bring it back to room temperature before roasting.
  • Roast until the tops of the chicken pieces are browned, about 35-40 minutes.
  • Dave's Take:
  • Recipes that use a lot of whole peeled garlic cloves are a perfect reason to look for containers of peeled garlic in the produce section of the supermarket. In my experience, Christopher Ranch is the best brand out there right now. The garlic is always fresh and potent.

APRICOT-GLAZED SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN WITH SAGE



Apricot-Glazed Sweet & Sour Chicken With Sage image

This is a quick and easy recipe with loads of flavour from Dave Lieberman's cookbook, "Young & Hungry". This is an elegant way to make a whole lot of chicken that tastes really good. It's kind of sweet and sour, sweet from the apricot preserves and the plums, and sour from the bit of vinegar. But what makes this dish are the sage leaves. They give a distinctive taste and make it a beautiful, festive platter that you can really be proud of. If you want to prepare this in advance, do the first 2 steps, cover the pans, and put them in the fridge until you're ready to roast the chicken, but bring it back to room temperature before roasting.
