Ingredients:
1 chicken quartered
½ cup dried apricots – sliced
½ onion – sliced
Healthy handful of fresh basil
Healthy handful of fresh Italian parsley
1 cup chicken broth
Marinade:
¼ cup of olive oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
4 tablespoons of honey
Dashes of ground curry
Dashes of fresh ground black pepper
Dashes of sea salt
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.
Bake 45-50 minutes, until a beautiful golden color or until the juices run clear on the thigh.
This is very delicious and slightly exotic!

I am really sorry that I haven't been by for a while. I think I have a good excuse because of my very poor health, but...
Anyway, I love the new look! Well, since I haven't been by lately, it may just be new to me, but it's still very attractive.
