APRICOT CHICKEN

     CHICKEN-APRICT - Chicken embalmed in apricot nectar

     Apricot Chicken is the ultimate bachelors delight.  It is
     very simple and tastes wonderful.  The recipe was given to
     me by a group of friends from back home who came to visit
     me.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4-6)
     2 lb      chicken pieces
     1 pkg     French onion soup mix
     2 cups    apricot nectar
     1 1/2 lb  canned apricot halves
               plain flour

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Dust chicken in flour.

          (2)  Fry chicken lightly until starting to brown.

          (3)  Place chicken in a casserole dish or a very deep
               frying pan.  Add soup powder, nectar and apricots.
               Mix everything well.

          (4)  Simmer for 1 hour.

NOTES
     I normally use 2 pieces of chicken per person and a 1 1/2 lb
     can of apricot halves. This will suffice for 4 to 6 people.
     If you cannot get nectar, then use the juice from the apri-
     cot halves.  (Of course, if you can buy apricots in nectar
     ...)

     The French onion soup quantity is not critical, but a soup
     packet that makes up 6 cups is about right for 4 to 6 peo-
     ple.

     Serve with potato (baked or boiled), buttered carrots, and
     peas.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes preparation, 1 hour
     cooking.  Precision: No need to measure.
