APRICOT CHICKEN
You will need the following:
2L bottle of Apricot Juice...mine was 25% juice....Cheaper than Apricot Nectar and you get more cooking liquor to soak in the rice
1 pkt French Onion Soup Mix
1.5 kg Chicken Breast OR Chicken pieces....this is the first time I have used Chicken breasts...I left them in a bit long, and found some cubes to be a bit dry
4 or 5 brown onions...sliced or diced
Now on the stove, add the Apricot Juice to a pot...and reduce to half the quantity.
Stir in the packet of French Onion Soup mix
Dice the chicken (if using chicken pieces, I remove the skin)
Dice the onion
Spray a baking dish with cooking spray....
Place onion, chicken and Apricot mix into baking dish
Cook in medium oven for 3/4 hour or until chicken is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent chicken pieces on top from drying out...If you put a lid on to prevent drying, you will create more juice, undoing all that reducing.
