SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN USING ITALIAN DRESSING AND APRICOT JAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
• Combine apricot jam, Italian-style salad dressing, and dried onions together in a bowl. Place browned chicken in a baking dish and pour jam mixture over the chicken; bake for 15 minutes. Add the pineapple, chopped onion and chopped red bell pepper; continue baking until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, another 15 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.

STICKY APRICOT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add a splash of oil and brown the chicken pieces all over until the skin is crisp and golden, approximately 10-15 minutes.
• In the meantime, mix together all the glaze ingredients. Add 2 tablespoons water to thin the glaze out a little but not enough to make it overly watery.
• When the chicken is golden brown and almost cooked through, pour off the excess fat.
• Return the pot to the heat and add the glaze.
• Allow the glaze to simmer gently, basting the chicken regularly until the glaze has reduced and the chicken is cooked through.
• Serve the chicken on rice with a generous amount of glaze spooned over.
