I am from Basra, Iraq and we have a traditional sweet apricot curry. Takes time to get used to it but it's delicious!
Thanks for sharing this version of an apricot dish. ☺

I love apricots when cooked because they go tart. I used to cook the most delicious chicken and peach dish. Thanks for reminding me. That’s next weekends Sunday dinner!!!!

I’m not an apricot chicken girl but I’m sure this is delicious. The 80’s really were a great time to be alive! I’m feeling very nostalgic!

[GeneralHadouken]

Nothing better than finding a good Aussie chef that can cook all mums recipes. Can't beat this classic

We have a dish that we like to call Chutney Chicken here in South Africa. Same measurements of mayo and apricot Chutney, mix together with brown onion soup powder, mix into chicken and into the oven. Its so beautiful

Chef Andy Never fails with unique dishes! Would you please cook Rouladen with Spätzle and red cabbage?

[Killlin]

Beautiful dish, fresh and perky.great job

[tonilyday]

Oh yeah! My favorite feel good food... casseroles, one dish meals. All good. Apricots are so underated. So good and loaded with good things for you. And best of all, don't have to peel them. Thanks Andy, you are a delight to watch always.

I love Apricot Chicken and haven't had it for years.

[LeHamOfPillingshire]

I still make this for myself because I grew up on it. It’s only the simple version with the canned nectar and French onion soup mix but damn it’s satisfying

[eveva]

super yum everything you cook looks absolutely delicious.keep up the good work you inspire me to cook and try new things

[temperatechimp]

Whoa! I've only ever had this dish twice in my life, and the apricots were always the star. For the second time, I think our host used a dry, sweet white wine before the orange juice (I don't remember the name!). That wide grin at the end said it all - total satisfaction!

Order up, Chef! Singapore Fried Hokkien noodles with all the fillings, with chilli sambal and calamansi lime halves on the side, for BP please!

Andy, I'm so glad you made this. It's one of my absolute favorites, but I make it slightly different. Secret sauce. Your version looks pretty good!
