One Pot Apricot Chicken Recipe
Description
The One Pot Apricot Chicken Recipe starts by browning seasoned chicken thighs skin side down in a cast iron skillet to render the skin crispy. Meanwhile, a mixture of dry onion soup mix, French dressing, apricot preserves, and fresh chopped thyme is whisked to create a sweet and savory sauce. Half of the sauce is poured over the browned chicken before it is baked in a preheated oven; after 25 minutes, the remaining sauce is added for further glazing and baked for five more minutes. The result is chicken thighs tender on the inside, with a caramelized, fruity coating tempered by the savory onion and herb flavors. This dish provides a straightforward way to combine pantry staples and fresh ingredients in one pan for easy cleanup and a complementary balance of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs bone in and skin on
- 1 packet onion soup mix dry
- 1 cup french dressing
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon thyme chopped, fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and set a cast iron skillet to heat on medium high heat.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add it to the cast iron skillet, skin side down.
- Brown both sides of the chicken for 3-5 minutes.
- In a bowl or large measuring cup add the rest of the ingredients and whisk them together.
- Pour half over the chicken, put the pan in the oven, and cook for 25 minutes.
- Pour the rest over the chicken and cook an additional 5 minutes.
