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
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
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'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
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

As a new comer to thermomix I
As a new comer to thermomix I was very pleased to have come across this packet free recipe that was easy and delicious. I used fresh apricots and 2 tablespoons of homemade apricot jam. I will definately use this recipe again. Thanks so much for sharing.
cooking this at the moment,
cooking this at the moment, everything smells amazing. I didn't have apricot halves so i substituted for dried apricots and a tin of nectar. Also didn't have chicken thigh do I used breast, and i also was only cooking for two so I cut the portions down a bit, I think when I add the corn flour I'm going to put in my frozen green beans just to save me from steaming them. I can already tell I will be using this recipe again.
Delicious, loved that it
Delicious, loved that it didnt use packet soup. I prepared the sauce in my thermomix then cooked the chicken in it in the oven at 180 for 25 minutes.

Witsy, I have made this
Witsy, I have made this several times now and just love the fresh flavours. Thanks for sharing such a lovely recipe.
This was great but I found
This was great but I found the chicken needed longer so I cooked for an extra 7 mins.
Love this recipe! Made this
Love this recipe! Made this today and my kitchen smelled sooooo good
Very easy! I ended up substituting the wine for water, and cubed the chicken thighs as my toddler will be eating it as well. Hubby is looking forward to having this for work lunches for a couple of day. I love not using a packet mix - now I know exactly what's in it, and it tastes a million times better 
Thanks for the recipe. First
Thanks for the recipe. First apricot chicken that the kids enjoyed. Will be making this again.
A beautiful recipe that was
A beautiful recipe that was enjoyed by everyone in my family including 11 months old. I only used 500g of chicken (4 thigh fillets) and added frozen baby peas with cornflower mixture. It was delicious, will be cooking it again. Thank you for sharing it!
This was so yummy I had a bag
This was so yummy I had a bag apricots so I used them instead of the can. Kids loved it.
Even my 2 year -old toddler
Even my 2 year -old toddler said it was "yum, yum, yum". Left out the wine, and replaced it with water.

I love the fact that there is
I love the fact that there is no store-bought french onion soup mix in sight, and still so flavoursome! I didnt have any tinned apricots in the pantry, so subbed in 300g apricot nectar and 220g chopped dried apricots which produced a wonderful "apricotty" flavour! I also omitted the onion powder and flakes for the toddlers eating this. Next time I'll try smoked paprika instead of Hungarian paprika. Big fan here!
