Instructions

Step 1

Combine the flour, paprika, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

In a large frying pan heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan add another drizzle of olive oil and cook the onion, ginger and garlic for 5-6 minutes or until the onion is translucent.

Step 4

Add the curry powder and cook for a few minutes or until fragrant before adding in the Golden Circle® apricot nectar, chicken stock, tomatoes and apricots. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Once simmering, return the chicken to the pan, season with salt and pepper, then cover and cook for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has reduced.

Step 6

Meanwhile, cook the rice as per packet instructions.

Step 7

Serve the apricot chicken alongside the freshly cooked rice and grilled seasonal vegetables. Garnish with fresh coriander and enjoy!
