This Apricot Chicken without French Onion Soup Recipe is perfect if you are a fan of apricot chicken but not too keen on a pile of processed foods.

For a busy Mum, it can be super easy to just chuck a tin of apricot and a packet of French onion soup into a dish with some chicken and cook it up.

However, for a stronger taste with less processed foods, give this Apricot Chicken without French Onion Soup a try! It’s deceptively easy and packs a punch in the flavour stakes!

Ingredients (serves 6)

  • 2 kg Chicken pieces
  • 800g Tin Apricot Nectar
  • 2 cups Chicken stock
  • 1/2 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Tumeric
  • 2 tsp Coriander
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 2 tsp Crushed garlic
  • 1 onion loosely chopped
  • 1/4 cup plain flour

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C.
  2. I could advise you here before you start to brown the chicken, onion and spices in a pan to strengthen the flavours. But who has time for that in the middle of the afternoon routine!
  3. I just toss all the ingredients (except the chicken) and mix together. Then place chicken in, cover with foil and cook for an hour.
  4. After an hour, remove foil turn over chicken and cook for another hour or until brown and bubbly.
  5. Serve on top of rice or mashed potato.
