This is a recipe I've made to be my own over time and taste testing. Traditionally black olives are also part of Chicken Caccitore but I omit them, as my kids are not fans of olives. Easy to add with all the rest of the ingredients. I find this recipe to be flavourful and popular with the kids.
Apricot Paprika Chicken
First time making this Apricot Paprika Chicken. It was easy to make and very tasty. I have a sweet tooth so I like the apricots sweetness and honey that was in the recipe. Was not overly sweet though as there was also ginger, white vinegar, white wine and paprika to offset that sweetness. Next time I make it I would use larger chicken pieces and double or even triple the sauce recipe. Loved the sauce. Tasty! :)
Ingredients
Chicken Breast or Chicken Pieces
olive oil
salt and pepper
teaspoon of paprika
half teaspoon of marjoram (can be fresh or dried)
half cup of white wine
half cup of chicken stock
Apricot Sauce
half a cup of apricot jam
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 and half teaspoon of ginger (can be dried or fresh)
4 tablespoons honey
Method
Heat olive oil in pressure cooker, put paprika and salt and pepper on chicken, then brown chicken. Remove chicken and then add wine and stock to pressure cooker.
Mix together apricot sauce ingredients then add to pressure cooker with chicken. Put lid on and let pressure build then reduce heat and cook for about 15 mins.
Release pressure when finished, remove chicken then put heat on pressure cooker with lid off and thicken sauce a little bit more. Pour over chicken, then ready to eat. :)
