Ingredients:Honey and Apricot BBQ Chicken Recipe

  • 2/3 cup dried apricots
  • 4 chicken breast fillets, trimmed
  • 60g butter, chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 garlic clove
  • olive oil cooking spray

Coriander couscous:

  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, rind finely grated, juiced
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup Sunbeam walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup coriander leaves

Preparation:

  1. Preheat barbecue plate on medium heat. Soak apricots in a bowl of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and allow to cool. Using a sharp knife, make a deep cut along 1 side of each chicken breast to form a large pocket (do not cut all the way through).
  2. Place apricots, butter, honey and garlic in a food processor. Process until just smooth. Spoon apricot mixture into chicken pockets. Secure with 1 or 2 toothpicks. Season both sides chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. Make coriander couscous: Place couscous in a large, heatproof bowl. Pour over boiling water. Cover and stand for 3 minutes or until water is absorbed. Stir with a fork to separate grains. Add onion, lime rind, 2 tablespoons lime juice, cucumber, walnuts and coriander. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Spray both sides chicken with oil. Barbecue for 4 to 5 minutes each side or until cooked through. Remove toothpicks. Thickly slice and serve with coriander couscous.

    Thanks Again Shelly :) ,

    We are trying to find recipes that won’t hurt the pocketbook since many fruits go in and out of season so quickly.. I’m sure it’s a bit more affordable for those on the coast than it is here in the Mid/Northwest.
    If you have any ideas or questions, please be sure to ask..
    and Thanks again shelly..
    Hope you can come back again.
    Cheers from Wyo,
