Apricot is a juicy, tender fruit which is yellow or orange in colour. It almost looks like a peach but it is more succulent, smaller and it has a rich flavour. I had already made Apricot Frangipane Mini Galette and Khubani Murgh Kadhai using the fresh Apricots but, I was still feeling sad for not making a savoury dish out of apricot. That's when I recollected one of the old recipes that I had my mind: Baked Apricot Chicken and I jumped with joy!
With Apricots gone for this season, this recipe uses Apricot preserve which luckily I had a big batch tucked away in the refrigerator. Super easy and quick to make, Baked Apricot Chicken just needs preparation of 10-15 minutes and then all you need to do is bake it!
The other day, I ran out of snacks and had nothing to serve my kiddo for breakfast, but luckily, as I had all the sauces, apricot preserve and chicken breast at home, I could prepare Baked Apricot Chicken and serve it to my sunny boy! This recipe totally saved my day!
You may feel that how would the combination of apricot and chicken taste? Wouldn't it taste too fruity? Trust me, as I only share the recipes which I have tried and tested, I can assure the same for Baked Apricot Chicken. It is indeed so lip-smacking that you would certainly feel like preparing it again and again!
