Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup dried apricot halves, cut in quarters
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsweetened orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, chopped
1/2 cup orange section, chopped coarsely
1/2 cup red seedless grapes or 1/2 cup green grape
1/4 cup cashew pieces, lightly toasted
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pinch red pepper flakes
4 leaves red leaf lettuce

Steps:

  • Combine quartered apricot halves, chopped onion, white wine, orange juice, and red wine vinegar in a saucepan, and bring to a boil
  • Set aside to cool
  • Combine apricot mixture with chicken, orange, grapes, cashew pieces, parsley, coriander/cilantro pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl, cover and chill 1 to 2 hours
  • Spoon chicken mixture onto a lettuce lined platter to serve
  • Or place on 4 salad plates and serve

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Choose ripe apricots: Ripe apricots will be plump and fragrant. Avoid any that are bruised or damaged.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a broth that is made with real chicken and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F before you remove it from the heat.
  • Add the cashews at the end: Cashews can burn easily, so add them to the dish at the very end of the cooking process.

Conclusion:

Apricot chicken with cashews is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apricots, savory chicken, and crunchy cashews is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
