This is a very quick and easy recipe to do and it tastes great, hardley any preparation time, not many ingredients and you can have it on the table in about 40 minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1 -1 1/2 cup flaked coconut (I say this as it depends on the size of the breasts.)
flour to coat chicken
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
5 tablespoons apricot preserves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon curry powder, I use the hot curry powder

Steps:

Combine coconut, pepper and garlic in a bowl (Note: If your breasts are larger and you need to use 11/2 cups of coconut add more pepper and garlic powder.).
Dust breasts in flour shake off excess, dip breast into egg and then into coconut press mixture firmly onto breast.
Place breasts in a lightly oiled oven proof pan, drizzle melted butter over and bake in a preheated oven 180-190°C for 25-30 minutes or until chicken breasts are browned and cooked through, turn the pan once during cooking.
Apricot Dipping Sauce.
While the breasts are cooking combine all the sauce ingredients in a pan and heat and stir until well combined. You can leave the sauce on a low heat while the breasts finish cooking, just stir occasional. This also helps the curry flavour to come through.
Serve with your favourite vegetables and fries or mash what ever you like.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh apricots. If fresh apricots are not available, you can use dried apricots, but be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
To get the chicken crispy, be sure to coat it evenly in the flour mixture. You can also use a double coating of flour to ensure that the chicken is extra crispy.
Do not overcrowd the chicken in the pan when frying. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy chicken. Fry the chicken in batches if necessary.
Be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pan when frying the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
Serve the Crispy Apricot Chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy Apricot Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, while the apricot sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
