How to Make Apricot Chicken For The Gourmet Crock Pot
- Grind 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into a fine powder using a spice mill or coffee grinder.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 large onion, thinly sliced, and sauté for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup chicken stock, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Place 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts in your slow cooker.
- Pour the onion mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is easily shredded with a fork.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in 1 cup dried apricots (halved or quartered) and 1/4 cup saffron water (prepared by steeping 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads in 1/4 cup hot water for 10 minutes).
- Serve the apricot chicken immediately over a bed of saffron rice. Garnish as desired.
