Delicious and Easy Apricot Chicken

Another No Fuss Recipe

If, like me, you often find yourself running around during the day and want a meal that takes no time to put together. This delicious and easy apricot chicken is the recipe for you. The ingredients are not overly expensive and most of them can be kept in the pantry/freezer for when you need to put together a quick meal. I have been making this recipe on and off for over twenty years.

Putting the recipe together couldn’t be easier. You just cut the chicken thighs in half and place them in a casserole dish that has a lid. Then mix together the nectar, chicken stock and french onion soup mix. Give it a stir and then pour over the chicken.

Now for the hardest part of making this apricot chicken – cover and bake in a 180C oven for 1hr. Uncover and add the drained apricot halves. Bake uncovered for a further 10 minutes. If you think there is too much liquid cook for a further 10 minutes uncovered.

Remove from the oven and mix through the sour cream. Serve with rice and sprinkle with parsley.

Any leftovers can be frozen with some rice for a quick lunch.

These old recipes have gone out of favour over the last ten years but I have started to dig them out again. Rediscovering the simplicity of the ingredients and the recipes has been a joy. You will probably see a few more pop up from time to time.
