Yum! Onion farfel kugel! Brownies! Do share!
I am way behind on cooking for our annual seder. No chicken soup yet! No grocery run yet! Yikes! I hope I can still find fresh horseradish.
One of my favorites is an Apricot Chicken for those people who don't like Lamb (!). Of course, I always end up losing the recipe, but I can always find one on the internet. Here's one that looks good:
APRICOT GLAZED CHICKEN WITH MATZAH MEAL STUFFING
Serves 4
4 boneless chicken breasts
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. pepper
For stuffing:
1/2 onion, diced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/3 cup chopped almonds
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup matzah meal
1 cup chicken broth
1 egg slightly beaten
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. salt
Combine the stuffing ingredients and let stand until all liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, flatten the chicken breasts between pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet, until about 1/4 inch thick.
Place about 1/2 cup stuffing on each breast. Roll up the breasts and place the seam side down in an oiled baking dish. Place any extra stuffing around the breasts.
Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper and baste with Honey Apricot Glaze. Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes, basting again after 15 minutes.
When the chicken is done, allow it to cool for about 15 minutes and then pour any remaining glaze over the top. Serve warm.
HONEY APRICOT GLAZE
Makes about 1/2 cup
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 Tbs. Honey Apricot Spread
1/4 cup orange juice
Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute. Add Honey Apricot Spread and orange juice and stir until combined.
