The very first recipe that caught my eye was Emily's latest for these wonderful looking Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies. I was seriously tempted to stop looking right then and head to the kitchen. But then I scrolled down and found this recipe for Easter Rice Pie which really intrigues me. Is it a dessert or is it a side dish? And who knew you could use rice in a pie? I definitely must try this.
Then I found the perfect recipe - Cinnamon Sugar Almonds. I have been meaning to try something like this for ages. However, since the recipe is a previous SRC post, I will have to save the it for later. And these super fudgy brownies.
And then I found this recipe for Apricot Mustard Chicken which really had my mouth watering. All those flavors just sounded so amazing! There's also a recipe for Crock Pot Applesauce Chicken and Crock Pot Coconut Curry Chicken and Crock Pot Pad Thai Chicken. They just all sound so good. But I decided to stick with the apricot chicken.
Crockpot Chicken with Apricot Mustard Sauce
from Life on Food
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp Apricot preserves
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/8 tsp cardamom
- 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, cut into pieces
- Toasted coconut
- In bottom of crockpot, mix together preserves, mustard, and spices. Mix in chicken, cranberries, and apricots.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. (Stir a couple of times if you're around)
- Serve with rice or couscous. Garnish with toasted coconut.
Emily left her chicken breasts whole, but I figured I'd just cut them up in the end, so why not before? I also added the dried cranberries and apricots to the mix.
It didn't turn out as pretty as Emily's, but the flavors were just as amazing together as I thought they'd be. We both really liked it, and I will definitely make this again. I am thinking that next time I want to try using boneless thighs instead of the breasts, just to see how that works out.
