Apricot Chicken Curry (no french onion soup)
August 31, 2016
This recipe has some pre-prep before placing into your slow cooker, but its definitely worth it because frying off the spices will 'activate' them, and then slowcooking gives the spices time to meld together and the results are fabulous!

Directions
11. Lightly coat the chicken pieces in the flour, and fry off in a hot pan until browned on the outside. Remove and set aside
22. In the same pan add the onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft, then re add the chicken.
33. Add the spices to the chicken/onion and quick fry until fragrant. At this point, add a splash of the stock to de-glaze the pan and get all the 'bits' off the bottom (this is where the flavour is!)
44. Place the chicken/onion/spice mix into the slowcooker and add carrots, stock and apricot nectar. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.
55. Each slowcooker is different, I like to cook on low for 5-6hrs or on high for 3-4hrs

Was a bit runny so I let it cook for the last few hours with the lid off. Hubby & kids raving about it 😊

Made this last week and doubled the spices and used legs and instead of apricot nectar I used stewed apricots that I had in the freezer. I am so happy to put this dish back on my menu list, will definitely be making this again.. and again… and again
