One Skillet Apricot Chicken with Orzo

Показать описание

There's nothing better in a cook's eye than only needing one pan to complete a dish! And with this apricot chicken baked together with orzo and herbs, that's exactly what you get! It's super simple, goes together in a pinch, and is perfect for a weeknight meal!

------------------------------

INGREDIENTS

- 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
- 2 tsp salt separated
- 1 1/2 tsp pepper separated
- 1 cup sliced leek
- 1/2 lb apricots
- 1/4 cup chopped sage
- 2 tbsp rosemary
- 1 cup orzo
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 cups chicken stock

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron (or oven-ready) skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper on all sides.

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken, skin side down. Sear until the chicken skin is deep golden brown and releases from the skillet easily, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add prepared leeks. Sauté until soft and just beginning to turn golden, 5-7 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat and add orzo, apricots, rosemary, and sage. Stir to combine and add the orange juice and chicken stock. Nestle the chicken thighs skin side up. Add 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.⁠

Bake in preheated oven until the orzo is tender and the chicken thighs reach 160°F, 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.

I absolutely love your cooking videos!! I have made lots of your recipes. One of my favourites is the creamy tomato soup made with white beans. It’s fantastic. All of our food is homemade by me from scratch. It’s a great way to live. Thanks for what you do.

Looks delicious! I even shared it with my mother (who doesn't cook) because she has an apricot tree. I hope to make it soon!

I can imagine all those flavors together would be so delicious! I'm going to try this in a couple of weeks, after vacation! It'll give me something to look forward to after the reality of coming home and going back to work 😆 😁😉

Moved to New Mexico, our new neighbor has a huge apricot tree next to our drive way…At first it was it was a nuisance to have so many ripe apricots all over our driveway around our vehicles but then we had nice neighbors come pick the tree clean which was kind of a relief…Came across this channel and this recipe by luck to use up some left over apricots, fresh sage and rosemary from the garden ❤️…by bf just made it and it was so delicious!! I’m now a subscriber and a fan ❤️😍😋

This is perfect. I’ve wanted to make apricot chicken, and of course I could get sugar-free preserves, but I think everyone’s going out think it tastes to sweet. Using only the whole apricots is the way to go. Thank you, for this recipe!

Wow!!! Amazing!!! Just made this tonight. I substituted sushi rice for the orzo, as i am gluten free. Thank you for this recipe and your video. This dish is way too good❤

Made this tonight. If you have a splatter cover I'd suggest you use it. I would also remove some of the fat after cooking the chicken. It was delicious 😋
