Apricot Chicken

Ingredients:

2 lb Chicken pieces

1 pk French onion soup mix

2 c Apricot nectar

1 1/2 lb Apricot halves (canned)

Flour (plain) Dust chicken in flour.

Fry chicken lightly until starting to brown.

Place chicken in a casserole dish or a very deep frying pan.

Add soup powder, nectar and apricots. Mix everything well.

Simmer for 1 hour. I normally use 2 pieces of chicken per person and about a 1 1/2 lb can of apricot halves.

This will suffice for 4 to 6 people. If you cannot get nectar, then use the juice from the apricot halves. (Of course, if you can buy apricots in nectar...)

The French onion soup quantity is not critical, but a soup packet that makes up about 6 C is about right for 4 to 6 people.

Serve with potato (baked or boiled), buttered carrots and peas.

NOTES: * Chicken embalmed in apricot nectar -- Apricot Chicken is the ultimate bachelors delight. It is very simple and tastes wonderful. The recipe was given to me by a group of friends from back home who came to visit me.

Yield: Serves 4-6. :

Difficulty: easy. :

Time: 10 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooking.
