Ingredients:
1 chicken quartered
½ cup dried apricots - sliced

Healthy handful of fresh Italian parsley
1 cup chicken broth

¼ cup of olive oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
4 tablespoons of honey
Dashes of ground curry

Preheat Oven 350 degrees:
Place the chicken in a baking dish and top with the fresh parsley, fresh basil, sliced onion and dried apricots.
Combine in a small bowl all of the ingredients for the marinade and pour over the chicken. Fill the bottom of the pan with the cup of chicken broth. Add a little extra broth as the broth evaporates.
