Tips:
- Choose ripe apricots: Using ripe, juicy apricots will enhance the flavor of the dish. Look for apricots that are plump and have a deep orange color.
- Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a low-sodium broth or make your own.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space for the chicken and apricots to cook evenly. If the slow cooker is too crowded, the chicken may not cook properly.
- Cook the chicken on low: Cooking the chicken on low for 6-8 hours will help to keep it moist and tender. If you cook the chicken on high, it may become dry and tough.
- Add the apricots during the last hour of cooking: This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: Apricot chicken is a great dish to serve with rice or noodles. The sauce from the chicken will help to flavor the rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
Apricot chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apricots and savory chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. By following these tips, you can make the best apricot chicken possible.
