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.
