Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup minced garlic
  • 1 can (14-ounce) chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground chipotle chili pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup dried Mediterranean apricots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Cointreau)
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts

Directions

Heat a large frying pan to medium high heat, then add olive oil. When oil is hot, add the chicken thighs and cook, turning, about 12 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown on all sides and fork can be easily inserted. Remove chicken from pan and drain off any excess oil. Place onion in pan and saute over medium heat for 2 minutes; add garlic and saute for an additional minute. Slowly add chicken stock, scraping pan to dissolve bits clinging to the bottom. When chicken stock begins to bubble, add ginger, allspice, cloves, salt, black pepper, chipotle chili, lemon juice, mustard, apricots, raisins, and cranberries. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes, then add chicken; continue to simmer until chicken is cooked and the liquid reduced to a light syrup, about 15 minutes. Add the liqueur to the frying pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and add chopped walnuts. Serve over rice.

    It was good, but very sweet, a little too sweet, I think. Maybe I reduced it too long, waiting for the rice to be done. But it was good, a nice combination of flavors. I used dried peaches and all dried cranberries.

    This dish was pretty easy to make and I liked that I didn't have to watch it the whole time it cooked. I felt that it had the right level of sweetness; however being partial to the low-carb diet, I felt guilty even though it was all natural sugar, except the orange liquer. I'm anxious to do a nutrional break down to find out how healthy this dish is. I served it with asparagus tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper that I grill on the stove top.
