Apricot Chicken

Loved it. So quick and easy. I used whole thigh fillets.

Can I use dried apricots if i soak them overnight also use sheets of apricot soaked to make juice. Thank you

Yes you can make it mango chicken with pureed tin of mango in juices or with straight mango nectar

Can you do this with any other fruit?

You can leave the curry out for sure. Go with apricot nectar for less sweet than the jam or fruit options

Hubby doesnt like curry so I’m wondering if adding that will alter the flavour too much for him? What else could I possibly add instead to bring the sweetness down?

Apricot chicken was great used thighs and followed recipe using nectar only.
Most of us enjoyed it however will try adding a combo of apricot pieces and nectar next time.

Tonight we have the mango version on the go… of course i forgot id onky grabbed 1kg chicken and added both a tin of mango pieces in juice and mango nectar so it will be extra saucy haha…. upside im hoping i can thicken tge remaining sauce and use more as a gravy for a basic chicken and veg night later in the week.

No water 🙂

Thanks
If using a jar of jam do I need to add water

You can make your own 🙂 HERE

Where would I be able to buy French onion soup mix in the UK please I’ve looked in most shops and been unable to find it, or is there a substitute that I would be able to use instead please. Thanks

I do find breast more dry than others myself but many love it still 🙂

I have a heap of chicken breasts and want to cook this dish. Has anyone tried this? Does breast end up dry?

Sure is yummy with curry 🙂 >> Apricot Chicken Curry

You don’t have to 🙂
Here’s the pros and cons, the rest is personal choice >>

Hi there. Just wondering, Do you have to brown the chicken prior to placing in the slow cooker?

If you are using the nectar also just add the fruit only 🙂

Hi Paulene
If I want to use nectar & apricots do I add any juice from the apricot can?
Thankyou

I’ve not tried to do that but as you can rehyrdrate them with hot water soak I don’t see why not … however why not just put them into the slow cooker dry? The cooking process and liquids will do the job for you with no extra steps needed 🙂

Could I use dry apricots if I soak them in water to soften them and use the water they were soaked in?

It’s delish
If you search MANGO CHICKEN we have lot’s of versions 🙂

Wonder what the Mango would be like

You should seriously consider trying then submitting your version too!
Sounds very unique!

Have a stove top recipe similar to this that uses cream. I have put all in slowcooker except the cream and going to add that about half an hour before serving. fingers crossed it going to come out ok. It also has mixed herbs, curry powder and garlic in it. It is a recipe my friend gave me as he had a creamy apricot chicken years ago from a place and been trying to find a recipe, most of them just have a glaze type sauce but he wants creamy(and we can only seem to find stove-top not slowcooker recipes) I prefer to use slowcooker.

Sure 🙂

No it goes in raw and cooks on the day 🙂

Also, would I be able to use an apricot chicken sauce jar/packet rather than the juice etc.

Do I cook the chicken first if I’m making freezer bags? Thanks

Yes 🙂

If you do the pieces do you add the juice too?

Sure you could, a little less time would see it done even
3.5hrs if you need it a little sooner perhaps but 4.5hrs will still work great 🙂

Pauline, would like to cook this in the next week but was wondering if I used fillets could I cut them into bite size pieces and cook for say 4.5 hours.

Thanks Kerry 🙂

I think you could – give it a go and let us know 🙂

Hi could you changed the chicken for pork. I really enjoyed the chicken was just wondering .

If too sweet a tsp of curry can break up the sweetness ?

Thanks for your feedback Rita 🙂
Which version did you try of the options given? (the jam would of course be the sweetest, then the nectar than the pieces)

Sorry didn’t like this recip, way to sweet for our taste
