Photo: Glazed Chicken with Dried Fruit and Parsnips Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 medium shallots
- 4 medium-large parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/3 cup apricot preserves
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 8 medium skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup pitted prunes, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Directions
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add the shallots and parsnips and cook until golden, shaking the pan, 2 minutes.
Whisk the apricot preserves, mustard, ginger and cumin in a bowl. Season the chicken with salt and pepper; toss with the apricot glaze.
Scatter the dried fruit in the skillet. Place the chicken, skin-side up, on top. Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook until heated through, 6 minutes. Uncover and transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook until the chicken and vegetables are tender and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
Push the chicken to the side of the skillet, then stir the vinegar into the pan juices (add up to 2 tablespoons water if the sauce is too thick). Serve from the skillet.

Seemed like a good idea, but unfortunately turned out to be not nearly worth the time and effort.

Maybe I did something wrong but the sauce in my dish burned and stuck to my pan even witht he extra water added. I did halve the recipe, except for the glaze so maybe that had something to do with it. Didn't like the way the prunes and apricots tasted in this dish. It was ok but I don't think I'll keep it.

I've made this several times and love it. I do put a healthy spin on it using skinless chicken breast to help bring down the fat. I throw in the chopped chicken and let it soak up all the sauce. I've also used the both regular and low sugar apricot jam for it and I don't notice much difference.
