Another "witsy" winner!.. Made it with 600g pork spare ribs cut in bite pieces, can of nectar as that's all that was in cupboard, added a bit of red capsicum from fridge and cooked a little longer...YUM! Served with fresh bread and skipped rice etc😍

We enjoyed this dish and super easy to make. Not a winner with the kids unfortunately.
All round winner in this house, another meal to add to the 'approved' list! I used 600g of chicken breast as thats all i had and could of easily done with more meat as produces heaps of sauce. I also only had a tin of nectar so just used that (one tin)
My husband can't stop raving about this dish! He was a bit apprehensive about me making Apricot Chicken as all other dishes of it that he has tried in the past, he didn't like. This one though, HE LOVED IT! I left out the coriander though. It was absolutely delicious and we will make it again!
Fantastic recipe that I cook regularly. Serve with rice/cauliflower rice and greens. I use chicken thigh or breast and leave out the fried shallots. Great weekday dinner for all the family
Tastes great, easy to make. I didn`t have tinned apricots or nectar so i substituted dried apricots and water.
Maybe you are right. they are just the Aldi 8 pack of thighs, not really sure if they are big or not. Regardless, I Will give that a go next time... Thanks
That's odd. I've never had that issue. Are you using thigh? Maybe you could cut your meat up a bit more instead of just in half. Sometimes I cut my thigh into 3 if it's big thigh.
Live Life to the Thermo-max!
Love this recipe but usually do the cooking on the stove. Tried to do the whole thing in the thermomix tonight but the chicken was still quite raw by the end. Am I going wrong somewhere or do other people find this?
Thanks for this recipe - made tonight for the first time using (thawed) frozen apricots from the garden and served with a pomegranate / cauliflower 'rice' salad. Have never liked fruit in main meals but this is awesome!
