APRICOT GLAZED CHICKEN WITH DRIED PLUMS AND SAGE
This is an elegant way to make a whole lot of chicken that tastes really, really good. It's kind of sweet and sour; sweet from the apricot preserves and the plums and sour from the bit of vinegar that I add. But what makes this dish are the sage leaves. They give a distinctive taste to the dish and make it a beautiful, festive platter that you can really be proud of.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Trim any extra fat from the chicken pieces and transfer them to a large roasting pan or broiler pan. If you don't have a roasting pan that's large enough, use 2 identical 13 by 9-inch baking pans.
- Toss all of the ingredients together with the chicken until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up in the pan, spaced evenly apart.
- If you're looking to prepare in advance, you can do everything up to this point and cover the roasting dishes and refrigerate until you're ready to roast the chicken.
- Roast, uncovered, until the tops of the chicken pieces are browned and the chicken is cooked through, and the juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes.

DRIED PLUM AND OLIVE CHICKEN
This recipe is taken from Sept. 2011 edition of Better Homes and Gardens. The taste is reminiscent of Osso Bucco, the famous Italian dish, only it's much easier to make and doesn't require veal of venison! For me, any gluten and dairy-free dinner that's easy to make in a crock-pot has no problem winning my heart!

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm plums for drying. Avoid any plums with bruises or soft spots.
- Use a variety of olive varieties to add flavor to the chicken. Kalamata, Castelvetrano, and Niçoise olives are all great options.
- If you don't have time to dry your own plums, you can use store-bought dried plums or prunes.
- Soak the dried plums in warm water for 30 minutes before using them. This will help to soften them and make them more flavorful.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
