Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb chicken, cubed
2 cups plain yogurt
2 -4 teaspoons cumin
2 -4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2-1 teaspoon nutmeg
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 onions
1/2 cup dried apricot
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Mix yogurt, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Marinate chicken in yogurt mixture for 1-2 hours.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute for a few minutes until they are becoming tender. Add chicken/marinade and apricots and continue to cook. After about five minutes, add orange juice and chicken broth. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • With a spoon, add some of the hot cooking liquid to a bowl. Mix with cornstarch until smooth, and return this mixture to the saucepan. Stir constantly until thickened. At this point, you may wish to add additional amounts of cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve with basmati rice. Note: for additional flavor, cook rice with chicken broth.

I love this recipe! It's so simple to make and the chicken is always so moist and flavorful. I've even made it in the slow cooker and it came out perfect.

So easy to make and so delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they were cooked to perfection. I served it with rice and a side of roasted vegetables.
