CHIPOTLE & APRICOT GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS



Chipotle & Apricot Glazed Chicken Thighs image

I recently tried this at a restaurant and attempted to duplicate tonight. It came out really good! You can really taste all of the flavors of both the glaze and the marinade. I like to make it healthier with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but regular thighs make a nicer presentation. I am making this tomorrow night (1/15/10) for a birthday dinner....so I will post a picture :)

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons rosemary, stems removed and minced
2 tablespoons thyme, stems removed and minced
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
salt
pepper
16 ounces chicken thighs, cleaned
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup apricot preserves
2 chipotle peppers, canned in adobo sauce
2 teaspoons adobo sauce, from the can above
2 tablespoons parsley, fresh
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Mix together the marinade and place in a resealable bag with the chicken. Marinate for a few hours or up to over night (which I did on accident as our plans changed).
  • Blend together all of the glaze ingredients.
  • Heat a grill to medium high and place chicken on the grill (after you discard the remaining marinade). Brush the glaze on the chicken liberally each time you flip the chicken.
  • Serve with your favorite side dish. I made a very basic green bean & carrot side with a mashed sweet potato dish.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN WITH APRICOT, TAMARIND AND CHIPOTLE SAUCE



Chicken With Apricot, Tamarind and Chipotle Sauce image

This Passover dish from Patricia Jinich came to The Times in 2009. For Ms. Jinich, who grew up in Mexico, one of 40,000 to 50,000 Jews, European and Mexican influences ran through Passover and holiday cooking: chicken soups with matzo might feature jalapeños, while meat stews were paired with salsa. Ms. Jinich learned this recipe from Flora Cohen, a woman of Syrian background who taught her and other Jewish brides in Mexico City how to cook. Here, a combination of dried apricots and apricot preserves give this chicken a savory sweetness, while chipotles in adobo add a little heat.

From Eagle, Idaho, Trisha Kruse writes, "Although chipotle peppers may be unfamiliar to some home cooks, they're worth exploring! Their warm, smoky flavor really complements the apricots in this main course for an absolutely wonderful meal."
