Recipe for "chicken-aprict"

NAME

     CHICKEN-APRICT - Chicken embalmed in apricot nectar
     Apricot Chicken is the ultimate bachelors  delight.   It  is
     very  simple  and tastes wonderful.  The recipe was given to
     me by a group of friends from back home who  came  to  visit
     me.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4-6)

     1 kg      chicken pieces
     1 pkg     French onion soup mix
     0.5 l     apricot nectar
     850 g     canned apricot halves
               plain flour

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Dust chicken in flour.
          (2)  Fry chicken lightly until starting to brown.
          (3)  Place chicken in a casserole dish or a  very  deep
               frying pan.  Add soup powder, nectar and apricots.
               Mix everything well.
          (4)  Simmer for 1 hour.

NOTES

     I normally use 2 pieces of chicken per person and an  850  g
     can  of apricot halves. This will suffice for 4 to 6 people.
     If you cannot get nectar, then use the juice from the  apri-
     cot  halves.   (Of course, if you can buy apricots in nectar
     ...)
     The French onion soup quantity is not critical, but  a  soup
     packet  that  makes  up 1.5 litres is about right for 4 to 6
     people.
     Serve with potato (baked or boiled), buttered  carrots,  and
     peas.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time:  10  minutes  preparation,  1  hour
     cooking.  Precision: No need to measure.
