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!
