    Apricot Chicken - Week 10, 2015

    Jump to recipe

    Apricot Chicken

    I've enjoyed apricot chicken for as long as I can remember.  However I wanted to create a recipe that didn't need a can of apricot nectar or a packet of french onion soup mix.  I eventually found one on the The Healthy Chef blog and converted it to be made in the Thermomix.  We all really enjoy this recipe while apricots are in season and when apricots cannot be found it works well using dried apricots.  Enjoy!   :)

    • 100g whole fruit apricot jam
    • 2 teaspoon cornflour
    • grinds of black pepper
    • rice, to serve
    • vegetables to serve (optional)

    Instructions

    2. Place onion and oil into TM bowl and chop 3 sec / speed 5. 
 Scrape down and sauté 5 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / MC off.
    3. Insert butterfly. Add chicken, stock, boiling water, jam, apricot puree and pepper and cook 12 mins / 100°C / speed 1 / Reverse / MC off, placing simmering basket onto TM lid to prevent spatter.
    4. Add cornflour and cook 5 mins / 100°C / speed 1 / Reverse / MC off, placing simmering basket onto TM lid to prevent spatter.

    When apricots are out of season – use 12 dried apricots. Soak in combined stock and water (extra) then blend together until smooth. This will develop a lovely apricot base for the whole dish.
