VENETIAN APRICOT CHICKEN
This is from the Olive Garden, I had this for lunch and was so impressed I went on to the Olive Garden website, and there it was. Delicious and low in fat and calories. OG does not serve pasta with this, so it is a nice light meal, served with salad and bread sticks, of course.

HERB & APRICOT GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS
I developed this recipe for a reception where I did not want to use tomato/BBQ based glaze so it would be easier on carpets and clean up, yet still have great flavor. Got lots of positive response. I make it in a crockpot for ease while preparing the rest of a menu, but you could easily bake these. I serve it over rice (for dinner at home) and the sauce is great on that.

Tips for Making Herb Apricot Chicken and Conclusion
- Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best choice for this recipe. They are more flavorful and juicy than boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your chicken the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you cook the chicken, be sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The best way to tell if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken thigh. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. This recipe goes well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve it with a simple salad.
Conclusion
Herb apricot chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a great option for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apricots, tangy lemon, and fragrant herbs makes this dish a real crowd-pleaser. So next time you are looking for a new chicken recipe, give herb apricot chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
