Time: 30 minutes. The mix of apricots, spices, and tomatoes is surprising but makes for an interesting and delicious twist to chicken dinner.
How to Make It
Step 1
Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, then add cumin, coriander, and cayenne; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on underside, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until brown on other side, about 3 more minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
Stir in tomatoes, apricots, sugar, and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and return chicken to pan. Cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Stir in chickpeas and parsley, and cook until heated through.
Step 4

I tried this recipe because I wanted to use up some dried apricots and garbanzo beans that I had leftover from other things. This has a strong flavor but it isn't a flavor that I really care for. I diced the chicken and served over couscous.

This was awesome! I didn't put the apricots and changed up the spices so that it had more of an Italian flare. Will DEF make again!!

We loved this recipe. I cut the chicken into large chunks the second time I made it instead of leaving them whole. We like it with couscous or brown rice.

So easy and so delicious. The dried apricots really are a nice balance to the spices. The sauce is out of this world!
