CHICKEN WITH APRICOTS
Chicken with dried apricots is hardly a new idea, but I had issues with its most common interpretations. For one thing, they were almost always cloying; the routine addition of cinnamon and cloves does nothing to offset the apricots' sweetness and makes the dish taste more like dessert than dinner. For another, they were usually stewed rather than braised, turning the chicken skin sodden. I brown the chicken in a nonstick skillet with no fat, and that works well. A tablespoon or two of butter, stirred in at the end, will make the sauce richer. Or you can render some bacon, remove it, and brown the chicken in the bacon fat, then crumble the bacon and stir it in at the end of cooking. Finally, any dried fruit can be used, or a combination; with the short cooking time, even prunes will remain intact. But be aware that fruit dried with sulfur (the common method) becomes tender much faster than fruit dried organically, which needs a couple of hours of soaking before cooking.

Steps:
- Combine apricots in a bowl with vinegar, wine and 1/4 cup water. Let soak while you brown the chicken.
- Turn the heat to medium high under a 12-inch nonstick skillet, and add chicken pieces, skin side down. Cook, rotating but not turning pieces so they brown evenly. When they are nicely browned - take your time - turn them so they are skin side up. Make a little space to add the onion, and cook, stirring the onion occasionally until it has softened a bit, a minute or two.
- Add apricot mixture and bring to a boil; cook for a minute, then turn heat to low and cover. Cook until chicken is done, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover, raise heat and season chicken well with salt and pepper. Boil away any excess liquid; sauce should not be too watery. Serve with white rice or any other cooked grain, or bread.

THAI CHICKEN CURRY WITH DRIED APRICOTS
This is an authentic 5 star restaurant-quality Thai/Indian style dish that can be created at home. This dish is an amazing Thai dish, and one I could quite possible eat every day, it is THAT good! If you don't have any red curry paste or coconut milk on hand, I strongly suggest to purchase some just to make this recipe, you can find Thai red curry paste and coconut milk in any Asian, Indian or Latin American market or large food chains, I purchase mine at my local Super Valu store chain. Bypass this recipe if you don't have a palat for Thai or Asian-style dishes. If you prefer your apricots to stay a firmer texture, then add in with the chutney and cook about 1 minute.
