CHICKEN-APRICT(M) USENET Cookbook CHICKEN-APRICT(M) APRICOT CHICKEN CHICKEN-APRICT - Chicken embalmed in apricot nectar Apricot Chicken is the ultimate bachelors delight. It is very simple and tastes wonderful. The recipe was given to me by a group of friends from back home who came to visit me. INGREDIENTS (Serves 4-6) 2 lb chicken pieces 1 pkg French onion soup mix 2 cups apricot nectar 1 1/2 lb canned apricot halves plain flour PROCEDURE (1) Dust chicken in flour. (2) Fry chicken lightly until starting to brown. (3) Place chicken in a casserole dish or a very deep frying pan. Add soup powder, nectar and apricots. Mix everything well. (4) Simmer for 1 hour. NOTES I normally use 2 pieces of chicken per person and a 1 1/2 lb can of apricot halves. This will suffice for 4 to 6 people. If you cannot get nectar, then use the juice from the apri- cot halves. (Of course, if you can buy apricots in nectar ...) The French onion soup quantity is not critical, but a soup packet that makes up 6 cups is about right for 4 to 6 peo- ple. Serve with potato (baked or boiled), buttered carrots, and peas. RATING Difficulty: easy. Time: 10 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooking. Precision: No need to measure. CONTRIBUTOR Greg Sharp Dept.
