Categories: Poultry, Usenet 
      Yield: 4 servings 
  
      2 lb Chicken pieces 
      1 pk French onion soup mix 
      2 c  Apricot nectar 
  1 1/2 lb Apricot halves (canned) 
           Flour (plain) 
  
  Dust chicken in flour.  Fry chicken lightly until starting to brown.  Place 
  chicken in a casserole dish or a very deep frying pan.  Add soup powder, 
  nectar and apricots.  Mix everything well.  Simmer for 1 hour. 
   
  I normally use 2 pieces of chicken per person and about a 1 1/2 lb can of 
  apricot halves.  This will suffice for 4 to 6 people.  If you cannot get 
  nectar, then use the juice from the apricot 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 about 6 C is about right for 4 to 6 people. Serve with potato 
  (baked or boiled), buttered carrots and peas. 
   
  NOTES: 
   
  *  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.
