Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed
3/4 pound dried apricots
1 large onion, sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Rub the chicken with cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Place the garlic in the cavity. Set aside at room temperature for one hour.
  • Simmer the apricots in water to cover for 30 minutes, or until plump.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large fireproof casserole, fry the onion in the butter and oil until soft. Add the chicken and apricots. Cover and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked, basting frequently. Remove lid for final 15 minutes of cooking so that the chicken breast browns. Correct seasoning and serve.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken and apricots cook together in one pot, so there's minimal cleanup. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the apricots add a nice sweetness and tanginess.

I found that the chicken was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it. Next time, I'll be more careful to watch the cooking time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of dried apricots. Next time, I'll try using a less sweet variety, or I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
