  • Chop the chicken into bite size pieces and salt and pepper.
  • In a heavy skillet heat oil and saute chicken in oil until brown and cooked through.
  • Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm while you make the sauce.
  • Add onions and garlic to the skillet and saute.
  • Add flour, cinnamon, cumin, and ginger to skillet and mix well.
  • Whisk in chicken broth.
  • Stir in apricots, lemon juice and honey.
  • Boil sauce for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon; while the sauce is boiling occasionally stir to prevent burning it.
  • Coat the chicken with the sauce by either mixing the chicken back into the skillet or mixing both chicken and sauce into a serving dish.

  1. I used 600 grams (2 chicken breasts) for 3 of us and was left with left overs (I would normally have used only about 450 grams hence the left overs) and cooked as per recipe, the DM and DS thoroughly enjoyed with them both having a small second serving, for me I found it too sweet and thought that I would prefer to cook a small breast and serve the sauce over that, though as is would be good over rice or couscous. Thank you Queen Dana, made for Make My Recipe - Spring Edition.
     
  2. My husband loved this. I wasn't that crazy about it. I think I just have a problem getting used to these combinations of flavors. I would have probably liked it better without the cumin and less ginger. I did like the combo of the chicken with the apricots. Made for ZWT #6 - 2010
     
  3. This was a wonderful meal with great flavor.

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
