Chicken thighs with sherry and apricots

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Main Dish - Other

Festive enough for a dinner party but ready in only about an hour.

"Nice flavours and easy to prep in advance. I suggest left over flour goes in pot with onions and then add broth to create a thicker sauce and to absorb excess fat. I also used 1 pint broth and left to simmer longer for fall-off-the-bone chicken. Nice flavours and easy family meal. Thx" - CraftychickUK
