SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN TAGINE WITH PUMPKIN



Slow-Cooker Chicken Tagine with Pumpkin image

I first discovered tagines-Moroccan stews-when my oldest son was a baby, and I've loved them ever since. The first version I made was in a slow cooker, and since I'm a mom with two active boys, that has stayed my preferred method. The pumpkin mixture is supposed to be thick, but if you like a thinner consistency, stir in chicken broth before serving. -Necia Blundy, Bothell, Washington

CHICKEN WITH APRICOTS



Chicken With Apricots image

Chicken with dried apricots is hardly a new idea, but I had issues with its most common interpretations. For one thing, they were almost always cloying; the routine addition of cinnamon and cloves does nothing to offset the apricots' sweetness and makes the dish taste more like dessert than dinner. For another, they were usually stewed rather than braised, turning the chicken skin sodden. I brown the chicken in a nonstick skillet with no fat, and that works well. A tablespoon or two of butter, stirred in at the end, will make the sauce richer. Or you can render some bacon, remove it, and brown the chicken in the bacon fat, then crumble the bacon and stir it in at the end of cooking. Finally, any dried fruit can be used, or a combination; with the short cooking time, even prunes will remain intact. But be aware that fruit dried with sulfur (the common method) becomes tender much faster than fruit dried organically, which needs a couple of hours of soaking before cooking.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup dried apricots
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup red wine
1 chicken, cut into serving pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine apricots in a bowl with vinegar, wine and 1/4 cup water. Let soak while you brown the chicken.
  • Turn the heat to medium high under a 12-inch nonstick skillet, and add chicken pieces, skin side down. Cook, rotating but not turning pieces so they brown evenly. When they are nicely browned - take your time - turn them so they are skin side up. Make a little space to add the onion, and cook, stirring the onion occasionally until it has softened a bit, a minute or two.
  • Add apricot mixture and bring to a boil; cook for a minute, then turn heat to low and cover. Cook until chicken is done, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover, raise heat and season chicken well with salt and pepper. Boil away any excess liquid; sauce should not be too watery. Serve with white rice or any other cooked grain, or bread.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor. If you can, use organic chicken and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served hot. If you let it sit for too long, the vegetables will start to wilt and the chicken will become dry.

Conclusion:

This chicken with sugar pumpkins and apricots recipe is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are flavorful and colorful, and the apricots add a touch of sweetness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
