Chicken with Apricot Sauce – Gluten Free-zer Friday

May 20, 2011 by angelaskitchen 5 Comments

Gluten Free Dairy Free Chicken with Apricot Sauce and Quinoa Vegetable Pilaf1

This was published in the Lakewinds article I wrote in March.  I have added freezer instructions for you.  Enjoy!

Chicken with Apricot Sauce Serves 6

 

Flattening the chicken allows it to cook in just a few minutes, shortening your time in the kitchen. Use this basic recipe to create your own variations. Try different combinations of wine (or fruit juice with a touch of vinegar) with other fruits and preserves.

 

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (about 2 1/4 pounds)

1 teaspoon salt, divided

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

6 tablespoons sweet rice flour or corn starch

1 1/2 tablespoon oil

1 1/8 cup dry white wine, white grape juice, or chicken stock

1 1/2 medium shallot, minced

6 fresh apricots, pitted and chopped (or 9 dried apricots soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes, chopped), about 1 cup

3 tablespoons apricot preserves

1 1/2 Tablespoon minced fresh tarragon (1 1/2 teaspoon dried)

pinch crushed red pepper flakes

 

 

Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a rolling pin, meat mallet or heavy skillet until flattened to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off excess. (Discard any leftover flour.)

 

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm. (If necessary, cook the chicken in two batches with an additional 1 tablespoon oil.)

 

Off the heat, add wine and shallot to the pan. Return to medium heat and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Add apricots and cook until the fruit begins to break down, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in preserves, tarragon and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Return the chicken to the pan and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the chicken with the sauce.

To freeze: Allow to cool.  Put in gallon freezer bag.  To serve:  Thaw.  Heat through.

I am so happy when someone tries one of my recipes. I do ask, though, that you link back to the recipe instead of posting it on your site unless you have made major changes. I have big plans for some of my recipes. Please remember, recipes are for personal use only. I do NOT give permission for any recipe, article, photo, etc. partially or in whole from angelaskitchen.com to be used for profit on another site, in published medium of any kind, or to be copied in part or whole. You MUST contact me for permission if you would like to use a recipe on a paid/membership website, in a restaurant, store, bakery, etc. for profit even with your adaption (this includes any “clubs”, membership sites, etc. that repackage other bloggers work for a fee, even if the original had been adapted or put into another form). THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🙂
