APRICOT CHICKEN CURRY



Apricot Chicken Curry image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 chicken drumsticks
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
4 cups apricot nectar

3 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 cup dried apricots
1 large onion, roughly chopped
1 large green bell pepper, roughly chopped
4 carrots, thinly sliced

½ cup chopped water chestnuts

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.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup white wine vinegar
¼ cup white sugar
3 ½ cups fresh apricots, pitted and halved
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
½ cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper hot sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon red curry paste (such as Thai Kitchen®)
½ (10 ounce) jar mild curry paste (such as Patak's®)
½ cup flaked coconut
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

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.
