APRICOT CHICKEN WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE
We are spending a few days in Wales this week enjoying the beaches, the weather, the castles and some seriously beautiful views. Naturally I haven’t really cooked much recently, but I did manage to cook this simple Apricot Chicken with Horseradish Sauce the day before we left.
I used readymade horseradish sauce in this recipe as my main focus that day was preparing for the trip and I really couldn’t spend much time in the kitchen. (Using fresh horseradish would have been a lot more labour intensive).
Besides, fresh horseradish is not easy to come by so it’s just more practical to use horseradish sauce.
This is a convenient recipe, simple and quick enough to make on a busy weeknight. It requires very few ingredients and is ready in around 30 minutes (± 5 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken pieces).
You can use peaches or nectarines, or even plums instead of apricots. Freshly chopped mint goes extremely well with horseradish, in my opinion, but fresh basil or parsley would be suitable too.

Add the apricot pieces, tucking them in between the chicken strips, season, drizzle with a little oil and bake for 25-30 minutes, ensuring the meat is cooked through. To serve garnish with freshly chopped herbs.
Wow, this looks AMAZING! I’ll definitely have to try it. I love horseradish, but have only just started trying it in recipes- normally I eat it straight from the jar! My favorite by far is Bubbies. I know what I’m going to be making this weekend!
Thank you! I love horseradish straight from the jar too! Hope you like the recipe if you do make it:)
What absolutely lovely flavours you’ve put together here… i’d never have thought to put them together at all, but am totally going to try it as I adore horseradish and also sweet/savoury. I think I might try using nectarines. Thanks again for joining us for August’s round of Simple and in Season.
Thank you! I think nectarines would be lovely in this dish too:)
Looks like a wonderful and tasty new preparation! Horseradish and apricots with chicken!
Thank you! Glad you think so:)
