Apricot ginger chicken is a delicious and flavourful dish that combines the sweetness of apricots with the spiciness of ginger. This dish is perfect for any occasion and can be enjoyed with a variety of sides, such as rice or roasted vegetables.

Ingredients

To make apricot ginger chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup of apricot preserves
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Chicken
Begin by trimming any excess fat from your chicken breasts and seasoning them generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in your olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add your chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for three to four minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Making the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together your apricot preserves, soy sauce, honey, and grated ginger. Stir well to combine, making sure that all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 3: Cooking the Chicken in the Sauce
Reduce the heat in your skillet to low and add your apricot ginger sauce to the pan. Stir the sauce for a minute or two until it becomes hot and bubbly. Return your chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top, making sure that they are fully coated.
Step 4: Serving Your Apricot Ginger Chicken
After a minute or two of cooking in the sauce, your apricot ginger chicken is ready to be served. Spoon any excess sauce over the top of your chicken and garnish with additional ginger or sliced apricots. Serve your apricot ginger chicken alongside your favourite sides, such as rice or roasted vegetables.

Variations

While this apricot ginger chicken recipe is delicious on its own, there are many ways to customize it to your liking. Some popular variations include:
  • Adding additional spices, such as cumin or coriander, for an extra kick of flavour
  • Using different types of fruit preserves, such as peach or raspberry, in place of the apricot
  • Adding in chopped vegetables, such as bell peppers or carrots, for a more well-rounded meal
  • Using bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of chicken breasts

Conclusion

Apricot ginger chicken is a wonderful dish that is both sweet and spicy. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking techniques, you can easily make this dish in your own home. Whether you decide to serve it alongside rice or roasted vegetables, your apricot ginger chicken is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or family gathering.

Valuable Tips for Making Apricot Ginger Chicken Recipes

Choose the Right Cut of Chicken

While apricot ginger chicken recipes can be made with any cut of chicken, some are better suited than others. For example, bone-in chicken thighs or legs tend to be more flavorful and moist than boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Additionally, dark meat chicken is better able to stand up to the sweet and spicy flavors of apricot and ginger.

Marinate Overnight

To infuse the chicken with as much flavor as possible, it's best to marinate it overnight. Simply combine apricot preserves, grated ginger, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a resealable plastic bag. Place the chicken in the bag and massage the marinade into the meat, making sure it's fully coated. Refrigerate the chicken and marinade for at least six hours, but preferably overnight.

Don't Overcook the Chicken

One of the biggest mistakes people make when cooking chicken is overcooking it. To ensure a juicy and tender chicken with a crispy skin, cook it to an internal temperature of 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the chicken, such as the thigh or breast.

Create a Glaze

To take your apricot ginger chicken recipe to the next level, make a glaze to brush over the chicken while it cooks. Combine apricot preserves, honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Brush the glaze over the chicken during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Caramelize the Skin

For a crispy and caramelized skin, use a cast-iron skillet or grill to cook the chicken. Heat the skillet or grill to medium-high and place the chicken skin-side down. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken over and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Add Veggies

To round out your apricot ginger chicken recipe, add some veggies to the mix. Roasted broccoli or carrots pair well with the sweet and spicy flavors of the chicken. Simply toss the veggies in olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast them in the oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes.

Garnish with Fresh Herbs

Add a pop of color and freshness to your apricot ginger chicken recipe by garnishing it with fresh herbs. Chopped cilantro, parsley, or green onions add a bright flavor and beautiful visual appeal to the dish.

Serve with Rice

Rice makes the perfect side dish for apricot ginger chicken. White or brown rice both work well, and you can jazz it up by adding some chopped scallions, toasted sesame seeds, or diced red pepper.

Get Creative

Apricot ginger chicken recipes can be easily personalized to your taste. Try swapping out apricot preserves for peach or mango preserves, or use a different type of vinegar or citrus juice in the marinade. Don't be afraid to experiment and find your own unique twist on this classic recipe!
