These easy apricot chicken recipes add some pizazz to baked chicken with 2 wonderful flavors! The first recipe makes an apricot barbecue glaze that is juicy and delicious. The second recipe is an Asian inspired apricot chicken including a rich flavored sauce made with apricot preserves, dried apricots and soy sauce.
Both of these apricot chicken recipes call for boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you can easily use other kinds of chicken. If you have bone-in chicken like chicken breasts or leg quarters, you can remove the meat from the bone for the first apricot chicken recipe where it calls for cutting boneless skinless chicken into chunks.
For the second recipe you can easily prepare and serve with bone-in chicken or even pork chops if you don’t have boneless skinless chicken. When prices are high on one meat, don’t be afraid to try something else. We have often found that chicken leg quarters, which include a leg and a thigh are cheaper than other chicken and the dark meat is juicy and delicious.
These apricot chicken recipes are very versatile. For an easy dinner, make either of these recipes and serve with rice and a vegetable. We always keep frozen broccoli, corn, mixed vegetables and other vegetables in the freezer so I can pick one and toss it in the microwave for a quick and easy side dish when I’m tired after a long day.
These recipes require very little preparation time, so you can quickly put together the recipe and then put it in the oven to bake while you take care of other things!
