Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Soak dried apricots in a cup of warm water for 10-15 minutes, and then chop them.
- To create stuffing, combine apricots, bacon, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, sage, and parsley flakes in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Mix black pepper and salt in a small bowl and set side.
- Place a chicken thigh, skin side down (where the skin would be), on a cutting board and cover with a piece of wax or parchment paper; pound with a meat mallet or a heavy skillet to flatten the thigh. Place the flatten thigh on a clean plate and set aside. Repeat with each thigh.
- Lay a flattened thigh on a cutting board skin side down, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper mixture. Spread about 2 tbsp of stuffing on the thigh and press down with your fingers. Carefully roll the thigh and secure the roll with a toothpick. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with all thighs. Use the leftover stuffing to sprinkle on the top of the stuffed thighs.
- Bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted sideways registers 175°F.
- Remove the toothpicks and serve hot or cold.

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.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and cook in the hot oil until golden brown around the edges, but still pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook for about 3 minutes more. Pour in the balsamic vinegar, bring it to a simmer, and allow it to reduce for a few minutes.
- Cut half of the apricots in half, leaving the others whole. Place the apricots into the skillet, and pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the apricot preserves and thyme. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the apricots have softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.
