im slowly starting to expand my cooking horizons from lasagne and baked chicken breasts and potatoes (lol) and would like to try a simple apricot chicken recipe! one with prefarably not too many complicated/flash ingredients that i would probably not use again. my pantry at the moment has the basics like rice, tuna, pasta sauce, mixed herbs etc.
it is only me and my toddler at home, so was thinking would it be ok to freeze in portions?
and anyother healthy easy yummy recipes that you think would be fun to try would be great too! thanks!

Here's one I've just found on Trademecooks ...
APRICOT CHICKEN This is so easy and was the first thing i learnt to cook in my crock pot. Put chicken pieces into crockpot pour over 11/2 teaspoons of chicken stock slice one onion into rings and separate the rings and put them into pot then get a large tin of apricot halves and pour the whole lot in then fill the tin 3/4 full of water and put that in sort of stir around. Garlic can be added if required. Put it on high for an hour then turn it to low and cook for a further 6 hours. If you like you can thicken it an hour before dishing up with a little cornflour and water. A really yummy dish. Instead of apricots you can use peaches, mandarin segments or pineapple they are all nice. posted by birrah
