This Sweet & Sour Chicken features the sweet and tangy flavours of our Apricot Balsamic Vinegar paired with the rich taste of our Garlic Infused Olive Oil. This combination creates a delicious Sweet & Sour flavour, without the excessive processed sugars and preservatives of the grocery-store varieties. This recipe calls for tender chicken bites that are simmered with dried apricots and thyme, creating a beautiful balance of savoury and sweet—perfect for serving over rice.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Garlic Olive Oil
- ¼ cup Apricot Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 20 dried apricots, quartered
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ½ cup apricot preserves
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet with a lid, heat Garlic Olive Oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Chicken (5 minutes): Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the heated oil and cook until the edges are turning golden brown but the inside is still pink, about 5 minutes.
Add Onion (3 minutes): Stir in the chopped onion and cook for an additional 3 minutes. (Optional: Add some fresh chopped garlic for extra flavour.)
- Add Apricot Balsamic: Pour in the Apricot Balsamic Vinegar, bring to a simmer, and allow the liquid to reduce for a few minutes.
- Add Apricots and Simmer (10-15 minutes): Add the quartered dried apricots and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the apricot preserves and fresh thyme. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer until the apricots are softened, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve over your favorite rice.
