Apricot Glazed Chicken With Wild Rice Recipes

APRICOT GLAZED CHICKEN WITH WILD RICE

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet (I use my electric skillet) over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts to taste. Place in the skillet and cook, covered, for 40 minutes.
• 2. In the meantime, prepare the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
• 3. In a small saucepan, place chicken broth, brown sugar, spicy brown mustard and apricot preserves. Over medium heat, stir mixture often until heated through, about 4 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until chicken is done. Sauce will thicken as it stands.
• 4. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with the wild rice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine the jam, mustard, vinegar, olive oil, and cayenne. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then brush with the glaze.
• Roast, basting with the glaze, for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken and roast for 10 minutes more. Baste the chicken with the glaze and roast 5 minutes more, or until the glaze is just crisp.

BAKED APRICOT WILD RICE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Clean chicken, discarding giblets and neck. Tie legs together and place, breast-side up, in a Dutch oven.
• Spread honey over chicken. Sprinkle with onion, garlic, turmeric, and lemon juice. Cover and bake for 1 hour. Drain off all fat and liquid.
• Sprinkle contents of rice and seasoning packets from rice mix around and under chicken. Pour water over rice. Add apricots.
• Cover and bake 35-45 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
• Mix pecans into rice. Cut chicken into pieces and serve over rice.

APRICOT GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Brown chicken in heated skillet.
• Add chicken broth, jam and soy sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes or until chicken is done (no longer pink in the center).
• Remove chicken from skillet. Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water to sauce to thicken (equal amounts more of each if you like it thicker). Return chicken to skillet and turn to coat thoroughly with sauce.

APRICOT-GLAZED CHICKEN WITH DRIED PLUMS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Trim any extra fat from the chicken pieces and transfer them to a large roasting pan or broiler pan. If you don't have a roasting pan that's large enough, use 2 identical 9 x 13-inch baking pans.
• Mix together the preserves and the vinegar in a mixing bowl. Dump over the chicken, add the remaining ingredients, and toss with the chicken until the chicken is evenly coated. Arrange the chicken pieces in the pan(s), skin side up, and spaced evenly apart.
• If you want to prepare this in advance, you can do everything up to this point, cover the pans, and put them in the fridge until you're ready to roast the chicken, but bring it back to room temperature before roasting.
• Roast until the tops of the chicken pieces are browned, about 35-40 minutes.
• Dave's Take:
• Recipes that use a lot of whole peeled garlic cloves are a perfect reason to look for containers of peeled garlic in the produce section of the supermarket. In my experience, Christopher Ranch is the best brand out there right now. The garlic is always fresh and potent.
